Bloodborne Lyrics – Ludwig, the Accursed Holy Blade

My English translation is inspired by the lore of Bloodborne and mood of its soundtrack, while also following the imperfect Latin lyrics as closely as possible.

Many thanks to the Bloodborne fan community for providing the pool of knowledge needed to create this translation.

Thanks also to Shirrako for providing the music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7eAfUjR9gdIjoaoQaS0W-A

LATIN LYRICS:

Venator feram tor
Sanguinem vigorem
Venator dominus
Amor a nihilo
Gladio sanguinem refugit opulentum

O venator
Ob sola divina
Ah domino terribilis spatha scelero
Maledictus fiat morte e sanguine opulento

O venator
Beatus sanctus
Bonum fati par dia
Domus aeternus fiat morte
Erit sanguinem opulentum

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Hunter of beasts
By the power of the blood
Lord of hunters
Once beloved, but now forgotten
Your sword spills blood in abundance

Oh, hunter
Bound by holy oath
Your crimes are etched in your terrible blade
A curse awaits you in death and the blood will flow in abundance

Oh, hunter
Blessed saint
Death would be too kind a fate
A nightmare shall be your home forever
And the blood will flow in abundance
