Time is joyful

Carmina Burana

Tempus es iocundum

Tempus est iocundum,
o virgines,
modo congaudete
vos iuvenes.

Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

Mea me confortat
Promissio,
mea me deportat
Negatio

Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

Tempore brumali
vir patiens
animo vernali
lasciviens.

Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

Mea mecum ludit
virginitas,
mea me detrudit
simplicitas.

Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

Veni, domicella,
cum gaudio,
veni, veni, pulchra
iam pereo.

Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

Time is joyful

Time is joyful,
O maidens,
Now rejoice
You young men.

Oh, oh, oh,
I am completely blooming,
Now with virgin love
I am completely burning,
A new, new love
is what I perish for.

My promise
comforts me,
my denial
carries me away.

In the winter season
a patient man
with a spring-like spirit
is playful.

My virginity
plays with me,
my simplicity
pushes me away.

Come, maiden,
with joy,
come, come, beautiful one
I am perishing.
