For the Latin and translation, you may click on this Carmina Burana website. Many of the rest of the songs are there as well.
For more on the Goliards read:
Books
The Wandering Scholars, by Hellen Waddell, a classic
Wine, Women, and Song by John Addington Symonds
The Goliard Poets: Medieval Songs and Satires in New Verse Translations by George F. Whicher (a treasure I found in a used bookstore in Louisville)
Websites
Wikipedia, Goliard
Goliards by Melissa Snell at About.com.
What can I say? I was trained as a mediaevalist and I'm a Latin Geek. :)
