The composer Peter Schindler on this single edition from "Perpetuum mobile":

The text "Estuans intrinsecus" (No. 191 in the Codex Buranus) is attributed to a poet whose name has come down to us as Archipoeta. The "arch-poet" was born between 1125 and 1135 and lived until after 1165. Archipoeta was an important Latin-language poet of the 12th century and a representative of vagabond poetry. His songs were widespread in the Middle Ages. To this day, "Estuans intrinsecus" (Blazing within) is one of the most famous secular texts in the Codex Buranus. The song has an original length of 25 verses in the manuscript! It imitates or parodies the form of confession, which is why it is also known as the vagrant's confession. It is a masterful poem that can be interpreted in many ways. Is the inner conflict the expression of someone in despair? Or do the verses show a free thinker who did not take the strict moral teachings so seriously in a cultivated and witty game? Is it irony or honest remorse?

Intended as a duet between man and woman, the flowing song is not self-accusing, but should be interpreted with the self-confident attitude: "It can't be so bad if I follow my nature with my way of life." Centuries later, Lessing said: "It is no crime to have loved; much less is it a crime to have been loved." And the unknown world star, lyricist Bruno Balz, evoked a very similar discussion with his 1938 sound film hit "Kann denn Liebe Sünde sein".
