Dies nox et omnia III. Cour dAmours by Carl Orff Lyrics

Latina & Provençau

[Solo per Baritono]

Dies nox et omnia
mihi sun contraria,
virginum colloquia
     me fay planszer,
     oy suvenz suspirer
     plu me fay temer.

O sodales, ludite,
vos qui scitis dicite,
michi mesto parcite,
     grand ey dolur,
     attamen consulite
     per voster honur.

Tua pulchra facies,
me fay planszer milies,
pectus habet glacies.
     a remender,
     statim vivus fierem
     per un baser.

[Baritone soloist]

Day, night and everything
is against me,
the chattering of maidens
makes me weep,
and often sigh,
and, most of all, scares me.

O friends, you are making fun of me,
you do not know what you are saying,
spare me, sorrowful as I am,
great is my grief,
advise me at least,
by your honor.

Your beautiful face,
makes me weep a thousand times,
your heart is of ice.
As a cure,
I would be revived
by a kiss.
