Carmina Burana: Ego Sum Abbas

Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis
Et consilium meum est cum bibulis,
Et in secta Decii voluntas mea est,
Et qui mane me quaesierit in taberna
Post vesperam nudus egredietur,
Et sic denudatus veste clamabit:
Wafna, wafna! quid fecisti, Sors turpissima?
Nostrae vitae gaudia
Abstulisti omnia!

Carmina Burana: I Am the Abbot of Cucany

I am the Abbot of Cucany
And my counsel is for the thirsty,
And my will is in the cult of Bacchus,
And he who seeks me in the tavern in the morning
Will leave naked in the evening,
And thus, stripped of his clothing he will cry out:
Wafna, wafna! what have you done, O wicked Fate?
You have robbed me of the joys
Of our entire life!
