Carl Orff
Miscellaneous
I am the Abbot
I am the Abbot of Cucani
and my counsel is with the Bibles,
and my will is in the sect of Decius,
and he who asks me in the morning in the tavern,
after the evening will come out naked,
and thus stripped of his clothes will cry:
(Baritone and Male Chorus)
Wafna, wafna!
What have you done to the disgraced lot
You have taken away all the joys of our life!
