Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ITA SPA
Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis
et consilium meum est cum bibulis,
et in secta Decii voluntas mea est,
et qui mane me quesierit in taberna,
post vesperam nudus egredietur,
et sic denudatus veste clamabit:
Wafna, wafna!
quid fecisti sors turpissima?
nostre vite gaudia
abstulisti omnia!

Sono l'abate di Cuccagna (Baritono e coro maschile)
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the Latin
Sono l'abate di Cuccagna
tengo consiglio coi compagni di bevuta,
devoto a San Decio, patrono dei giocatori di dadi,
e chi al mattino mi cerca in osteria,
all'ora del vespro se ne andrà nudo,
e senza vestiti andrà in giro a gridare:
Ahimè! Ahimè!
cosa mi hai fatto, sorte disgraziata?
Sono stato privato
di ogni gioia della vita!
