Carl Orff – In Taberna Quando Sumus lyrics
In taberna quando sumus
Non curamus quid sit humus,
Sed ad ludum properamus,
Cui semper insudamus.
Quid agatur in taberna
Ubi nummus est pincerna,
Hoc est opus ut queratur,
Si quid loquar, audiatur.
Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt,
Quidam indiscrete vivunt.
Sed in ludo qui morantur,
Ex his quidam denudantur
Quidam ibi vestiuntur,
Quidam saccis induuntur.
Ibi nullus timet mortem
Sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem:

Primo pro nummata vini,
Ex hac bibunt libertini;
Semel bibunt pro captivis,
Post hec bibunt ter pro vivis,
Quater pro Christianis cunctis
Quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis,
Sexies pro sororibus vanis,
Septies pro militibus silvanis.

Octies pro fratribus perversis,
Nonies pro monachis dispersis,
Decies pro navigantibus
Undecies pro discordaniibus,
Duodecies pro penitentibus,
Tredecies pro iter agentibus.
Tam pro papa quam pro rege
Bibunt omnes sine lege.

Bibit hera, bibit herus,
Bibit miles, bibit clerus,
Bibit ille, bibit illa,
Bibit servis c** ancilla,
Bibit velox, bibit piger,
Bibit albus, bibit niger,
Bibit constans, bibit vagus,
Bibit rudis, bibit magnus.

Bibit pauper et egrotus,
Bibit exul et ignotus,
Bibit puer, bibit canus,
Bibit presul et decanus,
Bibit soror, bibit frater,
Bibit anus, bibit mater,
Bibit ista, bibit ille,
Bibunt centum, bibunt mille.

Parum sexcente nummate
Durant, c** immoderate
Bibunt omnes sine meta.
Quamvis bibant mente leta,
Sic nos rodunt omnes gentes
Et sic erimus egentes.
Qui nos rodunt confundantur
Et c** iustis non scribantur.
