English to Latin (siege of the castle of love):

amoris arce summotus

Then Latin to English, it comes back:

Citadel deprived of love. (Citadel can be a castle so that would work; but not "deprived" of love.)

If I translate English to Latin (THE siege of the castle of love):

castrum obsidione amoris

And back to English:

the siege of the castle

Neither is quite on the money.

"siege" or "the siege" comes up as " obsidionem

"castelli" is castle

"amoris" is of love

And I plod onward…

Although now that I see it was a festival game, perhaps "remove or banish the castle of love?"

Suerte. (Not latin either.)

Amoris is the genitive of 'love' , arce is apparently a noun meaning citadel or castle (although it is a form of a verb meaning to enclose or keep out, summotus is a verb meaning to remove or expel.

So I guess the best translation is "citadel (castle) deprived of love"

Voila. (Not latin.) :)

Studied Latin in high school for four years and have a Latin dictionary. Can't promise anything, but what's the phrase?
