Carl Orff - Cignus Ustus Cantat lyrics

rate me

Olim 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!
