Tempus Est Iocundum Lyrics

(Chorus)
Tempus est iocundum,
o virgines,
modo congaudete
vos iuvenes.

(Baritone)
Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

(Women)
Mea me confortat
promissio,
mea me deportat
negatio.

(Soprano and Boys)
Oh, oh, oh
totus floreo
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

(Men)
Tempore brumali
vir patiens,
animo vernali
lasciviens.

(Baritone)
Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

(Women)
Mea mecum ludit
virginitas,
mea me detrudit
simplicitas.

(Soprano and Boys)
Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.

(Chorus)
Veni, domicella,
cum gaudio,
veni, veni, pulchra,
iam pereo.

(Baritone, Boys and Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh,
totus floreo,
iam amore virginali
totus ardeo,
novus, novus, novus amor
est, quo pereo.
