Si puer cum puellula III. Cour dAmours by Carl Orff Lyrics

Latina

[Soli (3 Tenori, Baritono, 2 Bassi)]

Si puer cum puellula
moraretur in cellula,
felix coniunctio.
Amore suscrescente,
pariter e medio
avulso procul tedio,
fit ludus ineffabilis
membris, lacertis, labilis.

English

[Soloists (3 Tenors, Baritone, 2 Basses)]

If a boy with a girl
tarries in a little room,
happy is their coupling.
Love rises up,
and between them
prudery is driven away,
an ineffable game begins
in their limbs, arms and lips.
