Orff Carl
Carmina Burana Original
In Taberna When We Are (Male Chorus)
When we are in the tavern
we don't care what the ground is
but we hurry to the game,
to whom we are always envious.
What is going on in the shop
where the cashier is the waiter,
this is the work to complain
if I say something, be heard.
They are playing something, some drink; no one fears death
but they cast lots for Bacchus:
First for coins of wine,
from this the freemen will drink;
once for the captives,
after this they will drink three times for the living ,
four times for all Christians
five times for the faithful deceased,
six times for the vain sisters,
seven times for the soldiers of the forest.
Eight times for the perverted brothers,
nine for the dispersed monks, ten thousand for the sailors, eleven thousand for the dissidents, twelve thousand for the penitents, thirteen thousand for the travelers. Both for the pope and for the king they will all drink without the law. , he drinks lazy,
he drinks white, he drinks black,
he drinks steady, he drinks vague,
he drinks raw, he drinks big.
He drinks poor and sick,
unknown,
the boy drinks, the old man drinks,
the prince and dean drink,
the sister drinks, the brother drinks,
the old man drinks, the mother drinks,
she drinks, he drinks ,
they will drink a hundred, they will drink a thousand. all the nations are gnawing
and so we shall be needy. COUR D'AMOURS
