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 !!
