"In Trutina", sebuah lagu klasik yang memikat karya Charlotte Church, mengupas tema perjuangan abadi antara gairah dan kebajikan. Lirik Latin-nya yang puitis, yang diterjemahkan secara harfiah sebagai "Pada keseimbangan pikiran yang tidak pasti", mencerminkan pergolakan batin yang dialami sang penyanyi. Berdiri di persimpangan jalan antara "lascivus amor" (cinta yang penuh nafsu) dan "pudicitia" (kesucian), sang penyanyi menimbang pilihan-pilihan mereka dengan hati-hati.
In Trutina Lyrics
Charlotte Church
In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video
collum iugo prebeo
ad iugum tamen suave transeo
I am suspended
Between love and chastity
But I choose
What is before me
And take upon myself the sweet yoke
A MORE LITERAL TRANSLATION:
On the uncertain balance of my mind
waver contraries
wanton love and modesty
But I chose what I see
I offer my neck to the yoke
nevertheless I go over to the sweet yoke
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video
collum iugo prebeo
ad iugum tamen suave transeo
I am suspended
Between love and chastity
But I choose
What is before me
And take upon myself the sweet yoke
A MORE LITERAL TRANSLATION:
On the uncertain balance of my mind
waver contraries
wanton love and modesty
But I chose what I see
I offer my neck to the yoke
nevertheless I go over to the sweet yoke
