Original lyrics
(CB 22) Tempus est iocundum
Tempus est iocundum,
o virgines,
modo congaudete
vos iuvenes.
Oh - oh, totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor est,
quo pereo.
Mea me comfortat
promissio,
mea me deportat
negatio.
Oh - oh, totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor est,
quo pereo.
Tempore brumali
vir patiens,
animo vernali
lasciviens.
Oh - oh, totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor est,
quo pereo.
Mea mecum ludit
virginitas,
mea me detrudit
simplicitas.
Oh - oh, totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor est,
quo pereo.
Veni, domicella,
cum gaudio;
veni, veni, pulchra,
iam pereo.
Oh - oh, totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus amor est,
quo pereo.

This is the joyful time
This is the joyful time,
O maidens,
rejoice with them,
young men!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
with first love
I am burning all over!
New, new love
is what I am dying of!
I am heartened
by my promise,
I am downcast by my refusal
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
with first love
I am burning all over!
New, new love
is what I am dying of!
In the winter
man is patient,
the breath of spring
makes him lust.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
with first love
I am burning all over!
New, new love
is what I am dying of!
My virginity
makes me frisky,
my simplicity
holds me back.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
with first love
I am burning all over!
New, new love
is what I am dying of!
Come, my mistress,
with joy,
come, come, my pretty,
I am dying!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am bursting out all over!
with first love
I am burning all over!
New, new love
is what I am dying of!
