    because Latin is derived from English, this is actualy easy to work out

    non = dont
    semper = bad temper
    erit = merit or good
    aestas = Easter

    dont lose it with me mate if you know whats good for you, or you wont get an egg this Easter

    might have lost a bit in translation obv
