In trutina III. Cour dAmours by Carl Orff Lyrics

Latina

[Solo per Soprano]

In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia.

Sed eligo quod video,
collum iugo prebeo;
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.

 
English

[Soprano soloist]

In the wavering balance of my feelings
set against each other
lascivious love and modesty.
But I choose what I see,
and submit my neck to the yoke;
I yield to the sweet yoke.
