von Carl Orff

SWAZ HIE GAT UMBE

Swaz hie gat umbe, Those who go round and round
daz sint alles megede, are all maidens
die wellent an man they want to do without a man
allen disen sumer gan! Ah! Sla! all summer long. Ah! Sla!

CHUME, CHUM, GESELLE MIN


Chume, chum, geselle min, Come, come my love
ih enbite harte din, I long for you
ih enbite harte din, I long for you
chume, chum, geselle min. come, come my love.

Suzer rosenvarwer munt, sweet rose-red lips
chum un mache mich gesunt come and make me better
chum un mache mich gesunt, come and make me better
suzer rosenvarwer munt sweet rose-red lips

WERE DIU WERLT ALLE MIN


Were diu werlt alle min Were all the world mine
Von deme mere unze an den Rin from the sea to the Rhine
Des wolt ih mih darben I would starve myself of it
Daz diu chunegin von Engellant so that the queen of England
Lege an minen armen. might lie in my arms
