about

Viam Tympani (The Way of the Drum) is a prayer for courage to face the challenges of life. If we can be still and listen to the beating of our hearts, like the beating of a drum, we will often find the answers within ourselves.

This is Music for the Church of the Drum.

lyrics

Viam Tympani

oppressus curis huius mundi,
cor micare silens audi.

viam sequere tympani.

es fortis, neque timueris,
sed exaudi pulsum cordis.
virtus est habenda tibi
ut intellegas linguam mundi.

viam sequere tympani.

pulsu, ut tympani, cordis,
es virtutem cogniturus.
viam sequere tympani.

noli alios rogare
ea quae vis interpretari.
immo sunt responsa intus,
ea exaudire ausus

viam tympani persecutus.


English Translation:

Overwhelmed by the troubles of this world,
Be still and hear your heart beat.

Follow the way of the drum.


Have courage, be not afraid,
But listen to the beat of your heart.
You need to have courage
To understand the language of the world.

Follow the way of the drum.

From the beating of your heart, as of a drum,
You will learn courage.
Follow the way of the drum.

Do not ask others
What you wish to understand.
Rather, the answers are within,
If you dare to listen for them

Having followed the way of the drum.


German Translation:

Űberwältigt von den Problemen dieser Welt
Sei still und höre deinen Herzschlag

Folge dem Weg der Trommel

Haben Sie Mut, haben Sie keine Angst
Aber hörenSie auf der Schlag Ihres Herzens
Mut muss man haben
Um die Sprache der Welt zu verstehen

Folge dem Weg der Trommel

Aus dem Schlag deines Herzens, wie eine Trommel
Du wirst Mut lernen

Folge dem Weg der Trommel

Fragen Sie andere nicht
Was Sie versetehen möchten
Stattdessen, die Antworten sind in dir
Wenn Sie es wagen auf sie zu hören

Dem Weg der Trommel gefolgt
Dem Weg der Trommel gefolgt
