Carl Orff - Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis (II. In Taberna) (English Translation) Lyrics[Baritone soloist and male Chorus]
I am the abbot of Cockaigne
And my assembly is one of drinkers
And I wish to be in the order of Decius
And whoever searches me out at the tavern in the morning
After Vespers he will leave naked
And thus stripped of his clothes he will call out:
Woe! Woe!
What have you done, vilest Fate?
The joys of my life
You have taken all away!
Haha!
