I wonder if the original question -asking if a popular song lyric could be translated into Latin - was asked because someone wants a tattoo of it.

I know a Latin teacher and she gets several emails a year from strangers asking her to translate phrases into Latin because they want them in a tattoo.

When I was the president of the society of Latin students, I got several emails asking for tattoo translations. I hope I got them right.

Let’s hope not- Maroon 5’s songwriting is not known to be… good.

That was my first thought as well. Ah, to be young again!

People trusting the advice of a stranger over email to permanently etch their skin? What a world...

If you think Latin tattoos are bad, check out the kind of shit people get tattooed with in (what they think is) Chinese:
