Yes, parts of it are in both German and Latin. The lyrics for the entire thing can be found here.

The other interesting piece of info about Carmina Burana is that it's probably the most famous piece of music composed during the Third Reich. Although eventually hailed as a work of German genius, there were some critics who saw it as 'degenerate ,' meaning that it did not meet the heroic ends that the German National Socialists thought were the requirement for good art. As far as I know though, Orff himself was not a Nazi, so unlike Wagner, who was a professed anti-Semite, his music is played without controversy in Israel.
