Carl Orff - Estuans interius (II. In Taberna) (English Translation) LyricsBurning inside
With violent anger
Bitterly
I speak to my heart:
Created from matter
Of the ashes of the elements
I am like a lead
Played with by the winds

If it is the way
Of the wise man
To build
Foundations on stone
Then I am a fool, like
A flowing stream
Which in its course
Never changes

I am carried along
Like a ship without a steersman
And in the paths of the air
Like a light, hovering bird;
Chains cannot hold me
Keys cannot imprison me
And join the wretches

The heaviness of my heart
Seems a burden to me;
It is pleasant to joke
And sweeter than honeycomb;
Whatever Venus commands
Is a sweet duty
She never dwells
In a lazy heart

I travel the broad path
As is the way of youth
I give myself to vice
Unmindful of virtue
I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh
More than for salvation
My soul is dead
So I shall look after the flesh
