Orff Carl
Carmina Burana Original
I am the Abbot (Baritone)
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 for me in the morning in the shop,
after the evening will come out naked,
and thus stripped of his clothes will cry:
(Baritone and Male Chorus)
Wafna, wafna!< br/>What have you done to the wretched lot?
You have taken away all the joys of our life!
