What is the english translation for the latin "Juvenes Dum Sumus" and
"Gaudeamus Igitur"?

Hello Bill3330,


According to my research the English translation for "Juvenes Dum
Sumus" is ?While we are young? and "Gaudeamus Igitur" is translated as
?Let us rejoice.?


Sources:

Gaudeamus igitur, Juvenes dum sumus. 
So, let us rejoice, while we are young.

Oh, man, this takes me back a bit.  "Gaudeamus Igitur," is, as
mentioned, a traditional boarding school song, and I remember being
called upon to sing it from time to time. Not only did we students not
really know the words, we didn't really know the tune. In case you're
curious about the music, it's available online at
http://wso.williams.edu/cpdl/sheet/brahms/gaudeamu.pdf

For the strong-hearted, the song has plenty of verses other than the
main one cited above; most of them strike the same notes of
celebrating school life and melancholy at the fleeting nature of time.

Gaudeamus indeed!

@ atk-ga,
You too?  Sung at the last "chapel" (assembly) before vacations?
If you know what St. Gordon's Day is  - or was -  we have something in common.
