I know nothing of Latin, so I can't vouch for its accuracy, but this translation of Blowin' in the Wind is aesthically very pleasing to my mind's ear:

Quot viae quae homo peragranda,
Donec grandem anima fit.
Sic, et quot maria columba velanda
Donec quiescit acta,
Sic et quot sagitt'ab arcibus volanda,
Ante pac'aeternam fore?

Respons'amici,
Se dedit flamini,
Responsum se dedit flamini.

Of course, my mind is most likely butchering the pronunciation, so what do I know? Thanks, Stuart.
