Caesar's words were "Veni, vidi, vici"... literally translates to "Came, saw, conquered"... but is usually taken to mean "I came, I saw, I conquered."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Vino vidi vinci" could be "I came and conquered the wine" I suppose :D

uhm veni vidi vici means literary "I came I saw I conquered" - in latin the subject isn't displayed (you can see what subject is at the verb).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but sorry I can't help you with the translation (maybe above translation could be right but you wrote "vinci" instead of "vici")

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

veni vidi vici also means "they came, they saw, they conquered", "you came, you saw, you conquered" or "it came, it saw, it conquered"... as you pointed out... the subject is inferred, meaning it does not form part of the literal translation.
