    It is a Latin phrase meaning "In You, Lord". In = In, Te = You, Domine = Lord. Also of note is that "Gloria", the title of the song, is the Latin word for "Glory"

    In Latin, the beginning of Psalm 31 is "In te Domine speravi..." "In you, O Lord; I take refuge." As for the other Latin bits in "Gloria," "exultate" and "miserere" -- these are the beginnings of Psalms 33 and 51, respectively: "Exultate iusti in Domino..." "Exult, you just, in the Lord." And "Miserere mei Deus..." is "Have mercy on me, O God..."

    Hey, thanks for reacting! Now I know what I was wondering about! Thanks!
  3. the word is agape and it's the greek word that means "love"
    actually it's pronounced agapi but our language is far too difficult so Bono can't pronounce it in the right way
    in greek it's written "αγάπη"

    I can't understand that to I think Greece is really suitable for a U2 concert! I don't understand!
  7. when they came here in 1997 in their unique concert in greece bono before singing ISHFWILF he said in greek: "we finally play in greece...i don't understand why we have been waiting for so long to come here.."
    but they never came back although they said that they have never seen a crowd like the greek..

    I'm going to make a writing test of Latin just tomorrow, so I would have answered this question, if I had only read it before...
    And you djrlewis, you took my moment of... "GOLRIA"! I'm angry with you now!

    ...Joking!!!
    Anyway great translation, friend!
    I hope also the examination of tomorrow will be so easy...
