Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den, der heimlich lauschet.

HAHAHAHA!!!  ;D

I played the 2 piano version of Carmina Burana.  The real lyrics are quite racy.  I like how they included the goose. One of the movements in Carmina has to do with a goose roasting in misery. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Yes, I heard it was about monks and dirty things.

If you guys think that Orff's Carmina Burana is racy, look up Catulli Carmina. Both of these pieces are part of Trionfi, and are sometimes played or recorded together. But yes, Catulli Carmina can be really dirty. At least it sounds as nice as Carmina Burana does, in my opinion.

Does anyone have the story and translation of Carmina Burana?


Now I know I'm going to be thinking "Oh!!! For tuna!" the next time I hear that.  And it's so serious.

Thanks for posting that.  I'd like to hear a recording.

Yes, especially the part that goes something like O tue mammale mammale, etc. -  Oh your tits, your, tits, your tits, your tits, your ti-i-i-ts, (excuse the vernacular translation) ;D
