Lyrics
O Fortuna, velut Luna statu variabilis
Semper crescis aut decrescis;
Vita detestabilis
Nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludomentis aciem
Egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem
Sors immanis et inanis, rotatu volubilis
Status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis
Obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris;
Nunc per ludum dorsum nudum ferotui sceleris
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria
Est affectus et defectus semper in angaria
Hoc in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite;
Quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite !!
Lyrics translation
O Fortune like the Moon state variable
Always crescis or decrescis;
Life detestabilis
Now is tough and then takes care of the ludomentis line
Poverty and power it melts to ice
The lot of monstrous and empty, rotatu volume
The state of bad, vain health always dissolubilis
Obumbrata and velata me too you;
By now the game back naked ferotui crime
A lot of safety and power to me now the opposite
Is affected and defects always in your service
In this hour without delay the heart of the vibrating strings;
Through lots opens strong, with me all lament !!
