Chou Chou Sheng - Preces Ad Imperatorem (Live in China)

C__ sit fama multiplex de te divulgata
Veritati consonent omnia prolata
Colorare stultum est bene colorata
Et non decet aliquem serere iam sata

Vide, si complaceat tibi me tenere
In scribendis litteris certus sum valere
Et si forsan accidat opus imminere
Vices in dictamine potero supplere

Hoc si recusaveris, audi, quod attendas
Paupertatis oneri pie condescendas
Et ad penas hominis huius depellendas
Curam aliquatenus muneris impendas

Chou Chou Sheng - Praises to the Emperor (Live in China)

Even if your fame is widely spread
Let all that is uttered correspond to the truth
It is foolish to colour what is already brightly coloured
And it is not right for anyone to sow what has already been sown

See, if it pleases you, let me serve you
I am certain I am capable of writing
And if by chance work should be needed
I shall be able to provide dictating services

If you should refuse this, hear what I ask:
Kindly condescend to relieve the burden of poverty
And to alleviate the suffering of this man
Spare some care for the office
