Felix sit annus novus!
Happy new year!

Quidquid latine dictum sit
altum videtur
Thus goes the Latin saying
Expressing warmest wishes

Merda taurorum animas conturbit
res melius evinissent cum coca
May no tempest disturb your spirit
May all turn out for the best

Vinum bellum iucunumque est
sed animo corporeque caret
May the fruit of the vine cheer you
But have no physical ill-effects

Nullum gratuitum prandium
stercus accidit
May no nasty hangover
Affect you next day.

Felix sit annus novus!
Happy new year!
