The Sydney Symphony held a contest on who composed the best lyrics for the opening Carmina Burana (known as "O Fortuna"). This is the winning work by Matthew Hodge sung by the Sydney Philharmonic choir that they have dedicated to all those parents who suffer from sleep deprivation or have suffered it.
They will not deny me that the lyric is insurmountable of this Ode to lack of sleep.
In case someone is not good at the language of the five o'clock tea, I leave the translation.
You, oh terror, get out of there! Mom is getting cranky Leave my mobile Where are your pants? What have you done with my bag? Don't throw those blocks What is that smell? Why are you so happy? What do you have in the mouth? Who broke that book? Why don't you stop moving? He's in the chair just was there staggering like a drunk man Where is my cup? What was that blow? Who let you in the kitchen? You have a knife! Release it don't shake it near your sister Leave the mobile where are my applications? Who scored triple zero? (I don't know what it can mean in Australia) Why do not you sleep? Is this your tooth? I need another coffee My head hurts so much! Look at this floor! I will always be cleaning it What is the matter with you? But what have I done? Why are you doing this to me? I hope that when you are a father, your children will drive you crazy!
