O Fortuna(original) |
| O Fortuna |
| velut luna |
| statu variabilis, |
| semper crescis |
| aut decrescis; |
| vita detestabilis |
| nunc obdurat |
| et tunc curat |
| ludo mentis aciem, |
| egestatem, |
| potestatem |
| dissolvit ut glaciem. |
| Sors immanis |
| et inanis, |
| rota tu volubilis, |
| status malus, |
| vana salus |
| semper dissolubilis, |
| obumbrata |
| et velata |
| michi quoque niteris; |
| nunc per ludum |
| dorsum nudum |
| fero tui sceleris. |
| Sors salutis |
| et virtutis |
| michi nunc contraria, |
| est affectus |
| et defectus |
| semper in angaria. |
| Hac in hora |
| sine mora |
| corde pulsum tangite; |
| quod per sortem |
| sternit fortem, |
| mecum omnes plangite! |
| (translation) |
| O fortune |
| Like the moon |
| changeable, |
| ever growing |
| waning |
| hateful life |
| now it is hard |
| and then soothes |
| fancy relaxing |
| poverty, |
| power |
| like ice. |
| Fate |
| and empty |
| you're rolling wheel |
| bad status, |
| vain salvation |
| always fades |
| overshadowed |
| and veiled |
| you plague me too; |
| now through the game |
| bare back |
| I am proposing your guilt. |
| Fate of salvation |
| and virtue |
| now opposite to me |
| is affected |
| and defects |
| always on duty. |
| In this hour |
| without delay |
| the heart beat |
| by lot |
| strikes down the brave |
| All weep with me! |
