I hate you and I think I love you
You might wonder why I act this way
I don't know but I feel it happening
And it's really fucking killing me

Well, maybe it's just jealousy
&c

(words by C Valerius Catullus, music by Billie Joe Armstrong)

(Original words to music)

I don't know you but I think I hate you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange that you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face

(Words in original language)

Odi et amo quare id faciam fortasse requiris
Nescio sed fieri sentio et excrucior

The translation is pretty much exact, except that the "I think" in the first line isn't in the Latin, the two impersonals in the English ("it happening" and "it's killing me") are passives in the Latin ("it being acted" and "I am killed"), and the English used for "excrucior" is usually "torture" or "torment".

The English translation of the Latin is the main post; the original lyrics are in my previous comment.
