gaudeamus igitur

/ ˌɡaʊdɪˈɑːmʊs ˈɪɡɪˌtʊə; ˌɡɔːdɪˈeɪməs ˈɪdʒɪtə /

interjection

from a medieval student song

Above the painting was the motto "Gaudeamus Igitur," resting on a gilt lyre and torch.

It was a quodlibet from “Gaudeamus igitur,” “Vive la joie,” and “God save the king.”

But now Feldmann was singing "Gaudeamus igitur," so the captain joined in too.

Let us clink glasses, Dmitri, and sing as of old, Gaudeamus igitur!'

The invention, they had decided, was of no good, and they sang their own foolish gaudeamus igitur.
