Carmina Burana / 1. Primo vere: "Veris leta facies"

Veris leta facies
mundo propinatur,
hiemalis acies
victa iam fugatur,
in vestitu vario
Flora principatur,
nemorum dulcisono
que cantu celebratur.

Flore fusus gremio
Phebus novo more
risum dat, hoc vario
iam stipate flore.
Zephyrus nectareo
spirans in odore.
Certatim pro bravio
curramus in amore.

Cytharizat cantico
dulcis Philomena,
flore rident vario
prata iam serena,
salit cetus avium
silve per amena,
promit virginum
iam gaudia millena.

Carmina Burana / 1. Primo vere: "Veris leta facies" (Spring's joyful face)

Spring's joyful face,
is offered to the world, my love,
winter's harsh grip
now defeated and driven away,
in varied attire
Flora reigns supreme,
with the sweet-sounding song
of the woods, she is celebrated.

Spread out in Flora's lap,
Phoebus in a new way
gives laughter, with this varied
abundance of flowers now present.
Zephyrus breathing
in the sweet scent.
Vying for the prize,
let us run in love, my dear.

The sweet Philomel plays the cithara
with her song,
the meadows now serene
smile with varied flowers,
a flock of birds leaps
through the pleasant woods,
promising a thousand
joys of maidens, my sweet.
