Translation of the song lyrics Ibi Cubavit Lamia - Siebenbürgen

Ibi Cubavit Lamia (original)

Lyss, den sköna slumrar ej
Om natten som sig bör…
Så ve den som i hennes famn
Av röda kyssar dör
Tag i akt min varning nu
Om drottningen från Hades:
Ty fyra sekel har förflytt
Sen hon i jorden lades…
Ändock vandrar hon var natt
Och törstar efter blod
Och ingen vet om henne mer
Än det som på graven stod:
«IBI CUBAVIT LAMIA»

Ibi Cubavit Lamia (translation)

Listen, the beautiful one does not slumber
At night as it should be…
Then woe to her as in her arms
Of red kisses die
Heed my warning now
About the Queen of Hades:
For four centuries have passed
Then she was laid in the ground…
Still, she walks every night
And thirsts for blood
And no one knows about her anymore
Than what was on the grave:
IBI CUBAVIT LAMIA
