GAUDEAMUS IGITUR DE BREVITATE VITAE
Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus,
Post jucundum juventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Vivat academia,
Vivant professores,
Vivat membrum quodlibet,
Vivant membra quaelibet,
Semper sint in flore!
Vivat et respublica
Et qui illam regit,
Vivat nostra civitas,
Maecenatum caritas,
Quae nos hic proteigit!
