I want to know the translation of lyrics in the White Zombie song “Super Charger Heaven”. There is a part in the middle of the song that sounds like latin and is not Rob Zombie saying it. It is just before the spoken part that says something like: “It is not herecy and I will not recant”. The actual lyrics are not written out in any of the sites I’ve researched. So I need someone who has actually heard the song and can translate latin. Rob Zombie isn’t known for writing songs that make much sense, so the translation proabaly isn’t that important, but I’m just curious. Thanks. ---

A quick Google search turns up that it is from the movie “To the Devil a Daughter” (1976). Netflix has that movie so you could rent it and check for subtitles. They have free trials if you don’t have the service. You can hear the word “excommunicado” so it has something to do with someone being excommunicated. I don’t know if there are Catholic dopers who might know if there’s a standard speech that is spoken when that happens. ---

I googled “Super charger heaven latin words” and came up with [this site](http://rzr.online.fr/docs/zombie/astroc2k.htm), which offers the following explanation: > [@](#): > > [2:27] in laborantum cordis suo non es deus non es ni une cum deum non es usque ad unum et excomunicatus ex unionus e deum Or “bien dien sewa, ande es, anone es pakitanan, %#^%^%#^, in ex commuticartes ,in non es…” > A bunch of stuff in Latin (dramatization of a heresy trial) translated as: “you are working in your heart, you are not God, never are you in unity and you are common, out of union in despite of God.” > Those are some of the words they chant in an exorcism ---

I bow to you masters of google. I merely tried finding the lyrics not background on the song. I knew that Zombie samples movie lines quite abit in his songs so I should have gone that route. Thanks for the help. The first time I saw a movie that had a sample line from a Zombie song was kinda wierd. My brain hurt because I was hearing song lyrics from the wrong source. ---

_Insipientia corde suo, non es deus. Non est vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum. Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium_ . (“Foolish of heart, thou art not a god. There is no life for those who do not adore, and to a man thou hast not. Thou art excommunicated from the union of the faithful.”) ---
