Wish Upon a Star

Carl Orff Carl Orff

Wish Upon a Star

Time is joyful,
O maidens,
now rejoice
you young men.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm all in bloom,
now with virgin love
I'm all ablaze,
new, new, new love it is,
that I perish
that I perish
that I perish

My promise comforts me,
my denial drives me away.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm all in bloom,
now with virgin love
I'm all ablaze,
new, new, new love it is,
that I perish
that I perish
that I perish

In the winter season
a patient man,
with a spring-like spirit
lascivious.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm all in bloom,
now with virgin love
I'm all ablaze,
new, new, new love it is,
that I perish
that I perish
that I perish

My virginity plays with me,
my simplicity pushes me away.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm all in bloom,
now with virgin love
I'm all ablaze,
new, new, new love it is,
that I perish
that I perish
that I perish

Come, young lady,
with joy;
come, come, beautiful,
I'm already perishing.

Oh, oh, oh, I'm all in bloom,
now with virgin love
I'm all ablaze,
new, new, new love it is,
that I perish
that I perish
that I perish
