Lyrics of Omnis Mundi Creatura - Liva

Omnis Mundi Creatura (original)

Omnis mundi creatura
quasi liber et pictura
nobis est, et speculum.
Omnis mundi creatura
quasi liber et pictura
nobis est, et speculum.
nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis
nostri status, nostrae sortis
fidele signaculum
Nostrum statum pingit rosa
nostri status decens glosa
nostrae vitae lectio;
quae dum primum mane floret,
defloratus flos effloret
vespertino senio.
nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis
nostri status, nostrae sortis
fidele signaculum
Cuius vita Cuius esse
Poena labor et necesse
Vitam morte claudre.
Sic mors vitam, risum luctus
umbra diem, portum fluctus,
Mane claudit vespere
In nos primum dat insultum
Poena mortis gerens vultum
Labor mortis histio
Nos ptoponit in laborem
Nos assumit in dolorum
Mortis est conclusio
Nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis,
nostri status, nostrae sortis
fidele signaculum.
Nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis,
nostri status, nostrae sortis
fidele signaculum.
fidele signaculum.
fidele signaculum.

(translation)

All the world's creatures
like a book and a picture
to us and the mirror.
All the world's creatures
like a book and a picture
to us and the mirror.
our life, our death
our status, our destiny
sure seal
Our state paints a rose
decent gloss of our status
our life lesson
which blooms until the first morning
deflowered flower blossoms
in the evening with age.
our life, our death
our status, our destiny
sure seal
Whose life is it?
Painful labor and necessary
To close life with death.
Thus death is life, laughter and mourning
the shadow of the day landing waves
It closes in the morning and evening
Innocent begins to attack
The death penalty for wearing a face
The labor of death
We prefer to work
It takes us into pain
Death is the conclusion
Our life, our death
our status, our destiny
sure seal
Our life, our death
our status, our destiny
sure seal
sure seal
sure seal
