Translation:Catullus 109

Literal English Translation Original Latin Line

You promise to me, my life, that this love
  of ours will be pleasant and everlasting between us.
Great gods, make it that she is able to promise truly,
  And that she speaks sincerely and from her heart,
That we might be allowed to lead through
  Our whole life this eternal pact of holy friendship.

Iūcundum, mea vīta, mihī prōpōnis amōrem
  hunc nostrum inter nōs perpetuumque fore.
Dī magnī, facite ut vērē prōmittere possit,
  atque id sincērē dīcat et ex animō,
ut liceat nōbīs tōtā perdūcere vītā
  aeternum hoc sānctae foedus amīcitiae.
