Orff In the Tavern: Estuans interius Lyrics

Estuans interius | Burning inside
ira vehementi | with violent anger,
in amaritudine | bitterly
loquor mee menti: | I speak to my heart:
factus de materia, | created from matter,
cinis elementi | of the ashes of the elements,
similis sum folio, | I am like a leaf
de quo ludunt venti. | played with by the winds.

c__ sit enim proprium | If it is the way
viro sapienti | of the wise man
supra petram ponere | to build
sedem fundamenti, | foundations on stone,
stultus ego comparor | the I am a fool, like
fluvio labenti, | a flowing stream,
sub eodem tramite | which in its course
nunquam permanenti. | never changes.

Feror ego veluti | I am carried along
sine nauta navis, | like a ship without a steersman, |
ut per vias aeris | and in the paths of the air
vaga fertur avis; | like a light, hovering bird;
non me tenent vincula, | chains cannot hold me,
non me tenet clavis, | keys cannot imprison me,
quero mihi similes | I look for people like me
et adiungor pravis. | and join the wretches.

Mihi cordis gravitas The heaviness of my heart
res videtur gravis; seems like a burden to me;
iocis est amabilis it is pleasant to joke
dulciorque favis; and sweeter than honeycomb;
quicquid Venus imperat, whatever Venus commands
labor est suavis, is a sweet duty,
que nunquam in cordibus she never dwells
habitat ignavis. in a lazy heart.

Via lata gradior I travel the broad path
more iuventutis as is the way of youth,
inplicor et vitiis I give myself to vice,
immemor virtutis, unmindful of virtue,
voluptatis avidus I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh
magis quam salutis, more than for salvation,
mortuus in anima my soul is dead,
curam gero cutis. so I shall look after the flesh.
