Lyrics and translation André Rieu feat. Carmen Monarcha, Mirusia Louwerse, Suzan Erens & The Platin Tenors - O Fortuna




O Fortuna
O Fortuna
O Fortuna
O Fortuna
Velut luna
Like the moon
Statu variabilis
Your state is ever changing
Semper crescis
Ever growing
Aut decrescis
Or decreasing
Vita detestabilis
Life abhorrent
Nunc obdurat
Now hardens
Et tunc curat
Then heals
Ludo mentis aciem
Tricks of the mind
Egestatem
Poverty
Potestatem
Power
Dissolvit ut glaciem
She dissolves like ice
Sors inmanis
Ruthless and
Et inanis
Empty fate
Rota tu volubilis
Your wheel turns
Status malus
Evil state
Vana salus
Vain salvation
Semper dissolubilis
Always dissolvable
Obumbrata
Shadowed
Et velata
And veiled
Michi quoque niteris
You shine also upon me
Nunc per ludum
Now in jest
Dorsum nudum
Bare back
Fero tui sceleris
I bear your evil
Semper crescis
Ever growing
Aut decrescis
Or decreasing
Vita detestabilis
Life abhorrent
Nunc obdurat
Now hardens
Et tunc curat
Then heals
Ludo mentis aciem
Tricks of the mind
Egestatem
Poverty
Potestatem
Power
Dissolvit ut glaciem
She dissolves like ice
Sors inmanis
Ruthless and
Et inanis
Empty fate
Rota tu volubilis
Your wheel turns
Status malus
Evil state
Vana salus
Vain salvation
Semper dissolubilis
Always dissolvable
Obumbrata
Shadowed
Et velata
And veiled
Michi quoque niteris
You shine also upon me
Nunc per ludum
Now in jest
Dorsum nudum
Bare back
Fero tui sceleris
I bear your evil
Sors salutis
Fate of salvation
Et virtutis
And virtue
Michi nunc contraria
Opposes me now
Est affectus
Is affection
Et deffectus
And deficiency
Semper in angaria
Always in oppression
Hac in hora
In this hour
Sine mora
Without delay
Corde pulsum tangite
Touch your heart's beat
Quod per sortem
Which by fate
Sternit fortem
Fells the strong
Mecum omnes plangite
Mourn with me
