nikola zivanovic answered 3/13/2011 Omnia Vincit Amor; Et Nos Cedamus Amori. What Is The English Translation Of The Phrase Above? It means that Cornelius Galus, about who the poem is, can not live in peaceful place of idyll. He wants to go to world, because he loves that world, and then he will die. Because all what we want is what will conquer us.
