Carmina Burana by Carl Orff , Jean Pierre Ponnelle (1975)
-
0:18 - 0:25O Fortune,
-
0:25 - 0:31like the moon
-
0:31 - 0:41you are changeable,
-
0:41 - 0:47ever waxing and waning;
-
0:47 - 0:52hateful life
-
0:52 - 0:57first oppresses and then soothes
-
0:57 - 1:02as fancy takes it;
-
1:02 - 1:08poverty and power
-
1:08 - 1:13it melts them like ice.
-
1:13 - 1:18Fate - monstrous and empty,
-
1:18 - 1:23you whirling wheel,
-
1:23 - 1:29you are malevolent, well-being is vain
-
1:29 - 1:34and always fades to nothing,
-
1:34 - 1:39shadowed and veiled
-
1:39 - 1:44you plague me too;
-
1:44 - 1:50now through the game
-
1:50 - 1:55I bring my bare back to your villainy.
-
1:55 - 2:00Fate is against me
-
2:00 - 2:05in health and virtue,
-
2:05 - 2:10driven on and weighted down
-
2:10 - 2:15always enslaved.
-
2:15 - 2:20So at this hour without delay
-
2:20 - 2:25pluck the vibrating strings;
-
2:25 - 2:30since Fate strikes down the strong man,
-
2:30 - 2:50everyone weep with me!
-
2:50 - 2:54I bemoan the wounds of Fortune
-
2:54 - 2:57with weeping eyes,
-
2:57 - 3:00for the gifts she made me
-
3:00 - 3:03she perversely takes away.
-
3:03 - 3:07It is written in truth,
-
3:07 - 3:11that she has a fine head of hair,
-
3:11 - 3:15but, when it comes to seizing an opportunity
-
3:15 - 3:19she is bald.
-
3:19 - 3:23It is written in truth,
-
3:23 - 3:27that she has a fine head of hair,
-
3:27 - 3:31but, when it comes to seizing an opportunity
-
3:31 - 3:45she is bald.
-
3:45 - 3:49On Fortune's throne
-
3:49 - 3:52I used to sit raised up,
-
3:52 - 3:55crowned with
-
3:55 - 3:58the many-coloured flowers of prosperity;
-
3:58 - 4:02though I may have flourished
-
4:02 - 4:06happy and blessed,
-
4:06 - 4:10now I fall from the peak
-
4:10 - 4:14deprived of glory.
-
4:14 - 4:18though I may have flourished
-
4:18 - 4:22happy and blessed,
-
4:22 - 4:26now I fall from the peak
-
4:26 - 4:41deprived of glory.
-
4:41 - 4:44The wheel of Fortune turns;
-
4:44 - 4:48I go down, demeaned;
-
4:48 - 4:51another is raised up;
-
4:51 - 4:54far too high up
-
4:54 - 4:58sits the king at the summit -
-
4:58 - 5:02let him fear ruin!
-
5:02 - 5:06for under the axis is written
-
5:06 - 5:10Queen Hecuba.
-
5:10 - 5:14sits the king at the summit -
-
5:14 - 5:18let him fear ruin!
-
5:18 - 5:22for under the axis is written
-
5:22 - 6:01Queen Hecuba.
-
6:01 - 6:05The merry face of spring
-
6:05 - 6:16turns to the world,
-
6:16 - 6:20sharp winter
-
6:20 - 6:33now flees, vanquished;
-
6:33 - 6:37bedecked in various colours
-
6:37 - 6:41Flora reigns,
-
6:41 - 6:45the harmony of the woods
-
6:45 - 6:52praises her in song. Ah!
-
6:52 - 7:09Ah!
-
7:09 - 7:14Lying in Flora's lap
-
7:14 - 7:25Phoebus once more
-
7:25 - 7:29smiles, now covered
-
7:29 - 7:41in many-coloured flowers,
-
7:41 - 7:45Zephyr breathes nectar-
-
7:45 - 7:49scented breezes.
-
7:49 - 7:53Let us rush to compete
-
7:53 - 8:00for love's prize.
-
8:00 - 8:18Ah!
-
8:18 - 8:22In harp-like tones sings
-
8:22 - 8:34the sweet nightingale,
-
8:34 - 8:38with many flowers
-
8:38 - 8:51the joyous meadows are laughing,
-
8:51 - 8:56a flock of birds rises up
-
8:56 - 9:00through the pleasant forests,
-
9:00 - 9:04the chorus of maidens
-
9:04 - 9:11already promises a thousand joys.
-
9:11 - 9:42Ah!
-
9:42 - 9:48The sun warms everything,|pure and gentle,
-
9:48 - 9:54once again it reveals to the world|April's face,
-
9:54 - 10:00the soul of man|is urged towards love
-
10:00 - 10:14and joys are governed|by the boy-god.
-
10:14 - 10:21All this rebirth|in spring's festivity
-
10:21 - 10:26and spring's power|bids us to rejoice;
-
10:26 - 10:33it shows us paths we know well,|and in your springtime
-
10:33 - 10:47it is true and right|to keep what is yours.
-
10:47 - 10:54Love me faithfully!|See how I am faithful:
-
10:54 - 10:59with all my heart|and with all my soul,
-
10:59 - 11:06I am with you|even when I am far away.
-
11:06 - 11:31Whosoever loves this much|turns on the wheel.
-
11:31 - 11:40Behold, the pleasant
-
11:40 - 11:43and longed-for
-
11:43 - 11:47spring brings back joyfulness,
-
11:47 - 11:51and longed-for
-
11:51 - 11:55spring brings back joyfulness,
-
11:55 - 11:59violet flowers fill the meadows,
-
11:59 - 12:02the sun brightens everything,
-
12:02 - 12:08sadness is now at an end!
-
12:08 - 12:13sadness is now at an end!
-
12:13 - 12:18Summer returns, now withdraw
-
12:18 - 12:22the rigours of winter.
-
12:22 - 12:30Ah!

12:38 - 12:42and disappears

-
12:49 - 12:53ice, snow and the rest,
-
12:53 - 12:57winter flees, and now spring sucks
-
12:57 - 13:00at summer's breast
-
13:00 - 13:06a wretched soul is he who|does not live or lust
-
13:06 - 13:11a wretched soul is he who|does not live or lust
-
13:11 - 13:16who does not live or lust

25:05 - 25:08they want to do without a man|they want to do without a man
-
25:08 - 25:11all summer, all summer, all summer

25:11 - 25:21all summer long.

-
26:36 - 27:05sweet rose-red lips.
-
27:05 - 27:09Those who go round and round,|those who go round and round
-
27:09 - 27:13are all maidens,|are all maidens
-
27:13 - 27:16they want to do without a man|they want to do without a man
-
27:16 - 27:19all summer, all summer, all summer
-
27:19 - 27:29all summer long.
-
27:29 - 27:48Ah! Sla!
-
27:48 - 27:52Were all the world mine
-
27:52 - 27:55from the sea to the Rhine,
-
27:55 - 27:58I would starve myself of it
-
27:58 - 28:02I would starve myself of it
-
28:02 - 28:07so that the queen
-
28:07 - 28:10of England
-
28:10 - 28:14might lie
-
28:14 - 28:25in my arms.
-
28:25 - 28:33Hei!
-
28:33 - 28:39Burning inside with violent anger,|bitterly I speak to my heart:
-
28:39 - 28:42created from matter,|of the ashes of the elements,
-
28:42 - 28:45I am like a leaf played with by the winds.
-
28:45 - 28:51If it is the way of the wise man|to build foundations on stone,
-
28:51 - 29:01the I am a fool, like a flowing stream,|which in its course never changes.
-
29:01 - 29:08I am carried along like a ship without a steersman,
-
29:08 - 29:15and in the paths of the air like a light,|hovering bird;
-
29:15 - 29:20chains cannot hold me,
-
29:20 - 29:24keys cannot imprison me,
-
29:24 - 29:30I look for people like me
-
29:30 - 29:33and join the wretches.
-
29:33 - 29:40The heaviness of my heart seems like|a burden to me;
-
29:40 - 29:46it is pleasant to joke and sweeter|than honeycomb;
-
29:46 - 29:52whatever Venus commands
-
29:52 - 29:56is a sweet duty,
-
29:56 - 30:01she never dwells
-
30:01 - 30:08in a lazy heart.
-
30:08 - 30:14I travel the broad path as is the way of youth,
-
30:14 - 30:21I give myself to vice, unmindful of virtue,
-
30:21 - 30:27I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh
-
30:27 - 30:30more than for salvation,
-
30:30 - 30:36my soul is dead,
-
30:36 - 31:20so I shall look after the flesh.
-
31:20 - 31:23Once
-
31:23 - 31:30I lived on lakes,
-
31:30 - 31:33once
-
31:33 - 31:40I looked beautiful
-
31:40 - 31:42when I
-
31:42 - 31:45was a
-
31:45 - 31:50Swan.
-
31:50 - 31:53Misery me!
-
31:53 - 31:55Now black
-
31:55 - 32:13and roasting fiercely!
-
32:13 - 32:16The servant is turning me
-
32:16 - 32:23on the spit;
-
32:23 - 32:27I am burning fiercely
-
32:27 - 32:33on the pyre:
-
32:33 - 32:38the steward now
-
32:38 - 32:43serves me up.
-
32:43 - 32:46Misery me!
-
32:46 - 32:49Now black
-
32:49 - 33:07and roasting fiercely!
-
33:07 - 33:13Now I lie on a plate,
-
33:13 - 33:17and
-
33:17 - 33:23cannot fly
-
33:23 - 33:27anymore,
-
33:27 - 33:32I see bared
-
33:32 - 33:37teeth:
-
33:37 - 33:40Misery me!
-
33:40 - 33:43Now black
-
33:43 - 33:57and roasting fiercely!
-
33:57 - 34:04I
-
34:04 - 34:10I,
-
34:10 - 34:15I am the abbot, the abbot
-
34:15 - 34:25I am the abbot of Cockaigne
-
34:25 - 34:31and my assembly is one of drinkers,
-
34:31 - 34:36and I wish to be in the order of Decius,
-
34:36 - 34:40and whoever searches me out|at the tavern in the morning,
-
34:40 - 34:45after Vespers he will leave naked,
-
34:45 - 34:48and thus stripped of his clothes
-
34:48 - 35:00and thus stripped of his clothes|he will call out:
-
35:00 - 35:05Woe!
-
35:05 - 35:07Woe!
-
35:07 - 35:11Woe!
-
35:11 - 35:13Woe!
-
35:13 - 35:16what have you done, vilest Fate?
-
35:16 - 35:19Woe! Woe! Woe!
-
35:19 - 35:23the joys of my life
-
35:23 - 35:28you have taken all away!
-
35:28 - 35:38Woe! Woe! Woe!
-
35:38 - 35:47Haha!
-
35:47 - 35:51When we are in the tavern,|we do not think how we will go to dust,
-
35:51 - 35:55but we hurry to gamble,|which always makes us sweat.
-
35:55 - 35:59What happens in the tavern,|where money is host,
-
35:59 - 36:02you may well ask,|and hear what I say.
-
36:02 - 36:10you may well ask,|and hear what I say.
-
36:10 - 36:14Some gamble, some drink,|some behave loosely.
-
36:14 - 36:18But of those who gamble,|some are stripped bare,
-
36:18 - 36:22some win their clothes here,|some are dressed in sacks.
-
36:22 - 36:25Here no-one fears death, but they throw|the dice in the name of Bacchus.
-
36:25 - 36:30Here no-one fears death, but they throw|the dice in the name of Bacchus.
-
36:30 - 36:35First of all it is to the wine-merchant
-
36:35 - 36:41the the libertines drink,
-
36:41 - 36:45one for the prisoners,|three for the living,
-
36:45 - 36:49four for all Christians,|five for the faithful dead,
-
36:49 - 36:53six for the loose sisters,
-
36:53 - 36:58seven for the footpads in the wood,
-
36:58 - 37:03Eight for the errant brethren,
-
37:03 - 37:08nine for the dispersed monks,
-
37:08 - 37:12ten for the seamen,|eleven for the squabblers,
-
37:12 - 37:15twelve for the penitent,|thirteen for the wayfarers.
-
37:15 - 37:19To the Pope as to the king
-
37:19 - 37:33they all drink without restraint.
-
37:33 - 37:36The mistress drinks, the master drinks,|the soldier drinks, the priest drinks,
-
37:36 - 37:40the man drinks, the woman drinks,|the servant drinks with the maid,
-
37:40 - 37:43the swift man drinks, the lazy man drinks,|the white man drinks, the black man drinks,
-
37:43 - 37:47the settled man drinks, the wanderer drinks,|the stupid man drinks, the wise man drinks,
-
37:47 - 37:50The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks,|the exile drinks, and the stranger,
-
37:50 - 37:53the boy drinks, the old man drinks,|the bishop drinks, and the deacon,
-
37:53 - 37:57the sister drinks, the brother drinks,|the old lady drinks, the mother drinks,
-
37:57 - 38:01this man drinks, that man drinks|a hundred drink, a thousand drink.,
-
38:01 - 38:10Six hundred pennies would hardly
-
38:10 - 38:18suffice, if everyone
-
38:18 - 38:21drinks immoderately and immeasurably.
-
38:21 - 38:25However much they cheerfully drink
-
38:25 - 38:28we are the ones whom everyone scolds,
-
38:28 - 38:31and thus we are destitute.
-
38:31 - 38:35May those who slander us be cursed
-
38:35 - 38:39and may their names not be written|in the book of the righteous.
-
38:39 - 38:49Io, io, io...!
-
38:49 - 39:29Io!
-
39:29 - 39:45Cupid flies everywhere
-
39:45 - 39:59seized by desire.
-
39:59 - 40:03Young men and women
-
40:03 - 40:33are rightly coupled.
-
40:33 - 40:44The girl without a lover
-

41:57 - 42:04Day, night and everything

42:10 - 42:13the chattering of maidens
-

-
44:20 - 44:27A girl stood

44:27 - 44:36in a red tunic;

57:15 - 57:22like the moon
-
57:22 - 57:33you are changeable,
-
57:33 - 57:38ever waxing and waning;
-
57:38 - 57:43hateful life
-
57:43 - 57:49first oppresses and then soothes

58:04 - 58:10Fate - monstrous and empty,

58:10 - 58:15you whirling wheel,
-
58:15 - 58:20you are malevolent, well-being is in vain
-
58:20 - 58:26and always fades to nothing,
-
58:26 - 58:31shadowed and veiled
-
58:31 - 58:36you plague me too;
-
58:36 - 58:41now through the game

58:41 - 58:46I bring my bare back to your villainy.
-
58:46 - 58:52Fate is against me
-
58:52 - 58:57in health and virtue,
-
58:57 - 59:02driven on
-
59:02 - 59:07and weighted down, always enslaved.
-
59:07 - 59:12So at this hour without delay
-
59:12 - 59:17pluck the vibrating strings;
-
59:17 - 59:22since Fate strikes down the strong man,
-
59:22 -everybody weep with me!
- Title:
- Carmina Burana by Carl Orff , Jean Pierre Ponnelle (1975)
- Description:
-
This was the dramatic rendition of Carl Orff's most famous piece of music, how he wanted it to look but seldom performed as such nowadays. It was finally filmed by West German TV in 1975 with the close co-operation of Orff in honour of his 80th birthday. The various stories of young lust and gluttony are playfully and skillfully brought to life. This version of Orff's masterpiece of the sacred and profane was hard to find in Germany. Not so strange, it was banned there for decades, most likely because of its almost literal interpretation of the texts Orff put music to. I first saw this when I was 12-13 years old at the Goethe Institute in Bergen, Norway, with my father, sister and mother. Someone had managed to get hold of an 8mm film roll with it and had a secret screening. This was in the 1980s and, believe it or not, there were strong forces opposed to what they considered blasphemous content in films. The mixture of Christian and pagan imagery is completely consistent with the lyrics, which were found in a monastery, and are a mixture of sacred and profane songs, but were obviously too tough to swallow. Copies of the film were destroyed, but luckily, art prevailed.
