Literal English Translation Original Latin Line

Animula vagula blandula,
hospes comesque corporis,
quae nunc abībis in loca
pallidula, rigida, nūdula,
nec ut solēs dabis iocōs...

Little soul, wandering, pleasing,
guest and companion of the body,
which now go away in places
pale, stiff, bare,
and will not jest as you do...
