​In Trutina

Text: Carmina Burana (12th or 13th century)
Music: C. Orff, 1895-1982



In trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia

Sed eligo quod video
collum iugo prebeo
ad iugum tamen suave transeo


Translation

In my own wavering balance
Desire fluctuates with modesty
But I choose what I see

I bow my neck to the yoke
For the burden is sweeter after all
And so I take it upon me
