From 'Carmina Burana'

Omnia sol temperat	The sun warms everything,
purus et subtilis,	pure and gentle,
novo mundo reserat	once again it reveals to the world
faciem Aprilis,	April's face,
ad amorem properat	the soul of man
animus herilis	is urged towards love
et iocundis imperat	and joys are governed
deus puerilis.	by the boy-god.
Rerum tanta novitas	All this rebirth
in solemni vere	in spring's festivity
et veris auctoritas	and spring's power
jubet nos gaudere;	bids us to rejoice;
vias prebet solitas,	it shows us paths we know well,
et in tuo vere	and in your springtime
fides est et probitas	it is true and right
tuum retinere.	to keep what is yours.
Ama me fideliter,	Love me faithfully!
fidem meam noto:	See how I am faithful:
de corde totaliter	with all my heart
et ex mente tota	and with all my soul,
sum presentialiter	I am with you
absens in remota,	even when I am far away.
quisquis amat taliter,	Whosoever loves this much
volvitur in rota.	turns on the wheel.
