Estuans Interius Lyrics

Estuans interius Burning inside
ira vehementi with violent anger
in amaritudine bitterly I speak
loquor mee menti: to my heart
factus de materia, created from matter
cinis elementi of the ashes of the elements
similis sum folio, I am like a leaf
de quo ludunt venti. played with by the winds
Cum sit enim proprium if it is the way
viro sapienti of the wise man
supra petram ponere to build foundations on stone
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor then I am a fool
fluvio labenti, like a flowing stream
sub eodem tramite which in its course never changes
nunquam permanenti.

Feror ego veluti I am carried along
sine nauta navis, like a ship without a steersman
ut per vias aeris and in the paths of the air
vaga fertur avis; like a light, hovering bird
non me tenent vincula, chains cannot hold meCarl Orff - Estuans Interius - http://motolyrics.com/carl-orff/estuans-interius-lyrics.html
non me tenet clavis, keys cannot imprison me
quero mihi similes I look for people like me
et adiungor pravis. and join the wretches

Mihi cordis gravitas the heaviness of my heart
res videtur gravis; seems like a burden to me
iocis est amabilis it is pleasant to joke
dulciorque favis; and sweeter than honeycomb
quicquid Venus imperat, whatever Venus commands
labor est suavis, is a sweet duty
que nunquam in cordibus she never dwells
habitat ignavis. in a lazy heart

Via lata gradior I travel the broad path
more iuventutis as is the way of youth
inplicor et vitiis I give myself to vice
immemor virtutis, unmindful virtue
voluptatis avidus I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh
magis quam salutis, more than salvation
mortuus in anima my soul is dead
curam gero cutis. so, I shall look after the flesh.
