Olim Lacus Colueram (Once I Lived on the Lakes)
Once I lived on lakes,
once I looked beautiful
when I was a swan.
(Male chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
(Tenor)
The servant is turning me on the spit;
I am burning fiercely on the pyre:
the steward now serves me up.
(Male Chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
(Tenor)
Now I lie on a plate,
and cannot fly anymore,
I see bared teeth:
(Male Chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
once I looked beautiful
when I was a swan.
(Male chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
(Tenor)
The servant is turning me on the spit;
I am burning fiercely on the pyre:
the steward now serves me up.
(Male Chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
(Tenor)
Now I lie on a plate,
and cannot fly anymore,
I see bared teeth:
(Male Chorus)
Misery me!
Now black
and roasting fiercely!
