Lyrics Carmina Burana / Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: "Fortune plango vulnera" - Carl Orff , Chicago Symphony Orchestra



Fortune plango vulnera
Stillantibus ocellis
Quod sua michi munera
Subtrahit rebellis.
Verum est, quod legitur,
Fronte capillata,
Sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.
Verum est, quod legitur,
Fronte capillata,
Sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.
In Fortune solio
Sederam elatus,
Prosperitatis vario
Flore coronatus;
Quicquid enim florui
Felix et beatus,
Nunc a summo corrui
Gloria privatus.
Quicquid enim florui
Felix et beatus,
Nunc a summo corrui
Gloria privatus.
Fortune rota volvitur:
Descendo minoratus;
Alter in altum tollitur;
Nimis exaltatus
Rex sedet in vertices
Caveat ruinam!
Nam sub axe legimus
Hecubam reginam
Rex sedet in vertices
Caveat ruinam!
Nam sub axe legimus
Hecubam reginam
