Carmina Burana: XIV. 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 queratur
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 hec 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 discordaniibus
Duodecies pro penitentibus
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 servis cum ancilla
Bibit velox, bibit piger
Bibit albus, bibit niger
Bibit constans, bibit vagus
Bibit rudis, bibit magnus
Bibit pauper et egrotus
Bibit exul et ignotus
Bibit puer, bibit canus
Bibit presul et decanus
Bibit soror, bibit frater
Bibit anus, bibit mater
Bibit ista, bibit ille
Bibunt centum, bibunt mille
Parum sexcente nummate
Durant, cum immoderatesuffice
Bibunt omnes sine meta
Quamvis bibant mente leta
Sic nos rodunt omnes gentes
Et sic erimus egentes
Qui nos rodunt confundantur
Et cum iustis non scribantur

Carmina Burana: XIV. In the tavern when we are

In the tavern when we are
We care nothing for what is happening on earth
And when we rest we always play a game
To which we devote ourselves entirely
What happens in the tavern
Where money is the cup-bearer
This is what I will seek to tell
If you will listen to what I say
Some play games, some drink
Some live without restraint
But of those who waste their time at games
Some are stripped bare
Some are clothed
Some are clothed in strange garments
There death holds no fear
But they cast dice for Bacchus
First for a jar of wine
From this drink drunkards
They drink once for prisoners
Then they drink three times for the living
Four times for all Christians
Five times for the departed faithful
Six times for foolish women
Seven times for soldiers in the woods
Eight times for perverse friars
Nine times for dispersed monks
Ten times for sailors
Eleven times for the discordant
Twelve times for the penitent
Thirteen times for those making a journey
For both the pope and the king
All drink without ceasing
Mistress drinks, master drinks
Knight drinks, priest drinks
He drinks, she drinks
Servant drinks with maid
Fast one drinks, slow one drinks
White one drinks, black one drinks
Loyal one drinks, vagrant drinks
Rude one drinks, great one drinks
Poor one drinks and sick one drinks
Exile drinks and unknown one drinks
Young boy drinks, old man drinks
Bishop drinks and dean drinks
Sister drinks, brother drinks
Old woman drinks, mother drinks
The one drinks, the other drinks
Hundreds drink, thousands drink
For less than six hundred pieces of money
They hold out as long as their greediness lasts
All drink without moderation
Although they drink with a joyful heart
Thus all people speak ill of us
And thus we shall be poor
May those who speak ill of us be confounded
And may they not be numbered with the just
