Carl Orff - 18. Circa mea pectora (III. Cour d'Amours ) lyrics

Latina [Solo per Baritone e Coro] Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria de tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet. Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii, sicut splendor fulguris, qui lucem donat tenebris. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet. Vellet deus, vellent dii, quod mente proposui: ut eius virginea resera**em vincula. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet. English In my heart there are many sighs for your beauty, which would me sorely. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet. Your eyes shine like the rays of the sun, like the flashing of lightning which brightens the darkness. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet. May God grant, may the gods grant what I have in mind: that I may loose the chains of her virginity. Ah! Mandaliet, mandaliet, min geselle chǒmet niet.
