STEPHEN GUNZENHAUSER CARMINA BURANA, SCENIC CANTATA FOR SOLOISTS, CHORUSES & ORCHESTRA: COUR D'AMOURS, NO 18: CIRCA MEA PECTORA LYRICS

 
Circa mea pectora
multa sunt suspiria
de tua pulchritudine,
que me ledunt misere.
Ah!
Mandaliet,
Mandaliet
min geselle
chumet niet.


Tui lucent oculi
sicut solis radii,
sicut splendor fulguris
lucem donat tenebris.
Ah!
Mandaliet
Mandaliet,
min geselle
chumet niet.


Vellet deus, vallent dii
quod mente proposui:
ut eius virginea
reserassem vincula.
Ah!
Mandaliet,
Mandaliet,
min geselle
chumet niet.
