¡Oh Lesbia mía! Con ninguno, fuera de...

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Orff)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the Latin

¡Oh Lesbia mía! Con ninguno, fuera de mí, dice mi amada 
que se uniría, así se lo pidiera el mismo Júpiter.
Eso dice, pero lo que una mujer dice a su amante 
hay que escribirlo en el viento y en el agua rápida.
Salen Catulo y Celio. Los viejos aplauden y dicen: 

Los viejos
¡Bien, bien, bien, 
excelente, excelente, excelente!
