Song Lyrics: Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten) Part II

In this post, I jotted down some lyrics for "Vale Decem", the Tenth Doctor's swan song in Doctor Who "The End of Time, Part II). It seems that there are several different versions of the lyrics are floating around out there. Here's another one:

Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten)
Ad Aeternam (On to Eternity)
Di Meloria (The Fates be with You)
Ad Aeternam (On the Eternity)
Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten)
Di Meloria (The Fates be with You)
Beati (Oh, Blessed)
Pacifici (He Who Brought Us Peace)
Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten)
Alis Grave (Lay Down Your Burden)
Ad Perpetuam (We Will Remember)
Memoriam (Forever)
Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten)
Gratis Tibi Ago (We Give You Thanks)
Ad Aeternam (On to Eternity)
Numquam Singularis (You Are Never Alone)
Numquam (Never)
Vale (x10)  (Farewell...x10)

Song Lyrics: Vale Decem (Farewell, Ten)

This song was composed and conducted by Murray Gold, one of my favorite composers. He does the music for the Doctor Who series. This particular song accompanied the regeneration scene in "The End of Time, part II" when the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) turns into the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith). The words are in Latin.

Vale Decem                                                                         Farewell, Ten

Honore res quara                                                  Because of (your) honor
Emerio                                                                         (It is) well deserved
Alter altera                                                                      This other (one)...

Vale Decem                                                                         Farewell, Ten
Emerio                                                                        (It is) well deserved
Alter...                                                                               This other (one)
Alteri ti                                                                          Other one of you...

Vale Decem                                                                         Farewell, Ten
Vale Stragem                                       Farewell (to) Carnage (destruction)
Valde Tempetua                                                               (to) intense trials
De glorio...                                                              (of) concerning pride...

Vale Decem                                                                         Farewell, Ten
Vale Decet                                                         (farewell) in a proper way
Honore res quara                                                  because of (your) honor
Alter cerna                                                     The next separation (change)
Armis                                                                             (by) force of arms
Grata tunc, usquera, emani                            flow out, all the way, with joy.
Vale (x12)                                                                                  (Farewell)

("I don't want to go...")
