Latina
[Solo per Baritono e Coro (Tenori e Bassi)]
Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis,
et consilium meum est cum bibulis,
et in secta Decii voluntas mea est,
et qui mane me quesierit in taberna,
post vesperam nudus egredietur,
et sic denudatus veste clamabit:
Wafna! Wafna
quid fecisti sors turpissima?
nostre vite gaudia
abstulisti omnia!
Haha!
English
[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!
