Carl Orff - Cignus Ustus Cantat lyrics
rate meOlim lacus colueram,
olim pulcher extiteram,
dum cignus ego fueram.
(Male chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
(Tenor)
Girat, regirat garcifer;
me rogus urit fortiter;
propinat me nunc dapifer,
(Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
(Tenor)
Nunc in scutella iaceo,
et volitare nequeo
dentes frendentes video:
(Male Chorus)
Miser, miser!
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!
