carmina burana - o fortuna (chorus) lyrics
o fortuna o fortune,
velut luna like the moon
statu variabilis, you are changeable,
semper crescis ever waxing
aut decrescis; and waning;
vita detestabilis hateful life
nunc obdurat first oppresses
et tunc curat and then soothes
ludo mentis aciem, as fancy takes it;
egestatem, poverty
potestatem and power
dissolvit ut glaciem. it melts them like ice.
sors immanis fate – monstrous
et inanis, and empty,
rota tu volubilis, you whirling wheel,
status malus, you are malevolent,
vana salus well-being is vain
semper dissolubilis, and always fades to nothing,
michi quoque niteris; you plague me too;
nunc per ludum now through the game
dorsum nudum i bring my bare back
fero tui sceleris. to your villainy.
sors salutis fate is against me
et virtutis in health
michi nunc contraria, and virtue,
est affectus driven on
et defectus and weighted down,
semper in angaria. always enslaved.
hac in hora so at this hour
sine mora without delay
corde pulsum tangite; pluck the vibrating strings;
quod per sortem since fate
sternit fortem, strikes down the string man,
mec-m omnes plangite! everyone weep with me!
