Catullus 85

An experiment with Catullus' famous poem. Fitting memorial for what today is to me.

Original
odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Literal translation
I hate and I love. Why do I do this, perhaps you ask?
I do not know, but I feel it happening and I am tormented.

English verse
Hate and love felt. Why do so, is perhaps asked?
Reason isn't known, but it is felt and I am tormented.

Spanish
Odio y amo. porque hago eso, sera que preguntas?
No se, pero lo siento y estoy tormentado.
