I'd say the same, except after a year of no-Latin, well, I'm unable to translate most things.

homo hominis : human being, man.

quia : because

pulvis : dust, powder / arena, scene of action

et . . . et : both . . . and

pulverem same as pulvis above

reverteris
reverto : to go back, return, revert.

That's not a translation

 

[flyin']

I think it was for Frigid, because he said he wouldn't look up the words anytime soon.

Memeto? Memento?

A stab in the dark:

I, a man, remember, since/because you were (are) dust, and you shall return to dust.
