Disney's Mulan - Imāgō ("Reflection" cover in Latin)

As usual, my goal was to take as few liberties with meaning as possible while maintaining the rhyme scheme, syllable count per line, and overall singability with the original melody. No attempt was made to adhere to ancient Roman meter, though I did strive to at least align stress properly. The language itself is classical (hopefully), but the poetic form is deliberately modern. The complete lyrics are reprinted below. Latin Lyrics by Gregory H.

Nōn, nec spōnsa nec fīli' optima Haud umquam habēbor. Quōque diē Vīvō persōnam agēns. Sed certē, Sī nātūram meam Mōnstrārem, tum Paterētur mea gēns. In speculō istō Cuius est imāgō? Cūr mī mōnstrat aliquam quam Nōn nōvī? Haud semper poterō Obsequī speculō. Quandō istud mōnstrābit Hanc quae sum vērē? Cupiō mē Posse quōdam diē līberāre hīs Quae exspectant omnēs. Eō diē, Mē dēsistam dissimulāre sīc, Mea gēns glōriābitur. Haud agna mītis sum, Sed hī nōn illud sciunt. Umquamn' ergō quispiam sciet Quis intus sim? Semper sequenda mī Estne fraus speculī? Quandō istud mōnstrābit Hanc quae sum vērē?
