Download mp3 - Ego sum abbas : Carl Orff
Ego sum
abbas Cucaniensis I am the
abbot of Cockaigne
et consilium meum est cum bibulis, and
my assembly is one of drinkers,
et in secta Decii voluntas mea est, and
I wish to be in the order of Decius,
et qui mane me quesierit in taberna,and whoever searches me out at the
tavern in the morning,
post vesperam nudus egredietur,
after Vespers he will leave naked,
et sic denudatus veste clamabit: and
thus stripped of his clothes he
will call
out:
(Baritone and Male Chorus)
Wafna, wafna! Woe!
Woe!
quid fecisti sors turpassi what
have you done, vilest Fate?
Nostre vite gaudia the
joys of my life
abstulisti omnia! you
have taken all away!
