Carmina Burana / 2. In Taberna: "In taberna quando sumus"

In taberna quando sumus,
Non curamus quid sit humus,
Sed ad ludum properamus,
Cui semper insudamus.
Quid agatur in taberna
Ubi nummus est pincerna,
Hoc est opus ut quaeratur;
Si quid loquar, audiatur.
Hoc est opus ut quaeratur;
Si quid loquar, audiatur.

Quidam ludunt,
Quidam bibunt,
Quidam indiscrete vivunt.
Sed in ludo qui morantur,
Ex his quidam denudantur,
Quidam ibi vestiuntur,
Quidam saccis induuntur;
Ibi nullus timet mortem,
Sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem.

Primo pro nummata vini;
Ex hac bibunt libertini;
Semel bibunt pro captivis,
Post haec bibunt ter pro vivis,
Quater pro Christianis cunctis,
Quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis,
Sexies pro sororibus vanis,
Septies pro militibus silvanis.
Octies pro fratribus perversis,
Nonies pro monachis dispersis,
Decies pro navigantibus,
Undecies pro discordantibus,
Duodecies pro paenitentibus,
Tredecies pro iter agentibus.

Tam pro papa quam pro rege
Bibunt omnes sine lege.

Bibit hera, bibit herus,
Bibit miles, bibit clerus,
Bibit ille, bibit illa,
Bibit servus cum ancilla,
Bibit velox, bibit piger,
Bibit albus, bibit niger,
Bibit constans, bibit vagus,
Bibit rudis, bibit magus,
Bibit pauper et aegrotus,
Bibit exul et ignotus,
Bibit puer, bibit canus,
Bibit praesul et decanus,
Bibit soror, bibit frater,
Bibit anus, bibit mater,
Bibit ista, bibit ille,
Bibunt centum, bibunt mille.

Parum sescentae nummatae
Durant cum immoderate
Bibunt omnes sine meta,
Quamvis bibant mente laeta;
Sic nos rodunt omnes gentes,
Et sic erimus egentes.
Qui nos rodunt confundantur
Et cum iustis non scribantur.
Io, io, io, io, io, io, io, io.
Io.

Carmina Burana / 2. In Taberna: "In taberna quando sumus"

When we are in the tavern,
We don't care what the world is like,
But we rush to the game,
To which we always sweat.
What happens in the tavern
Where money is the barman,
This is the work to be done;
If I speak, let it be heard.
This is the work to be done;
If I speak, let it be heard.

Some gamble,
Some drink,
Some live indiscreetly.
But of those who stay in the game,
Some are stripped,
Some are clothed,
Some are dressed in sacks;
There no one fears death,
But for Bacchus they cast lots.

First for a coin of wine;
From this the libertines drink;
Once they drink for the captives,
After this they drink three times for the living,
Four times for all Christians,
Five times for the faithful departed,
Six times for the vain sisters,
Seven times for the forest soldiers.
Eight times for the perverse brothers,
Nine times for the dispersed monks,
Ten times for those who sail,
Eleven times for the discordant,
Twelve times for the penitent,
Thirteen times for those who travel.

As much for the pope as for the king
All drink without law.

The lady drinks, the lord drinks,
The soldier drinks, the cleric drinks,
He drinks, she drinks,
The servant drinks with the maid,
The swift drinks, the lazy drinks,
The white drinks, the black drinks,
The steadfast drinks, the vagrant drinks,
The rude drinks, the wise drinks,
The poor and the sick drink,
The exile and the unknown drink,
The boy drinks, the gray-haired man drinks,
The prelate and the dean drink,
The sister drinks, the brother drinks,
The old woman drinks, the mother drinks,
This one drinks, that one drinks,
A hundred drink, a thousand drink.

A few hundred coins
Last with them immoderately
All drink without end,
Although they drink with a cheerful mind;
Thus all the nations gnaw at us,
And thus we shall be needy.
May those who gnaw at us be confounded
And may they not be written with the just.
Io, io, io, io, io, io, io, io.
Io.
