Lyrics

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
