Carmina Burana
Michel Plasson - Orchestre Du Capitole De Toulouse - Malcolm Stewart - Choeur D'Enfants Midi Pyrenee Lyrics

The lyrics of "Ave Formosissima" from Carmina Burana are a beautiful tribute to the beauty and grace of women. The song begins with "Ave Formosissima," which can be translated to "Hail Most Beautiful," and goes on to describe the beauty of the virgin, who is glorified for her purity and grace. The lyrics also pay tribute to Helena and Blanziflor, two women famous for their beauty in mythology, and to Venus, the goddess of beauty and love.

The final lines of the song are simply "Fin," repeated three times, signifying the end of the poem. However, the repetition of "Fin" can also be interpreted as a celebration of the beauty that has been described throughout the song - the beauty of women, of the world, and of life itself. The music of Carmina Burana perfectly captures the emotions of the lyrics, with alternating bursts of joy and melancholy that reflect the complexity of human emotions.
