Carl Orff - Carmina Burana - 21. In trutina

21. In truitina (In the balance) In truitina mentis dubia fluctuant contraria lascivus amor et pudicitia. Sed eligo quod video, collum iugo prebeo: ad iugum tamen suave transeo. In the wavering balance of my feelings set against each other lascivious love and modesty. But I choose what I see, and submit my neck to the yoke; I yield to the sweet yoke. In the scales of my wavering indecision, physical love and chastity are weighed. But I choose what I see. I bow my head in submission and take on the yoke which is after all sweet.
