David Parry feat. London Philharmonic Choir, The London Chorus & London Philharmonic Orchestra - Carmina Burana: O Fortuna - translation of the lyrics into English




Carmina Burana: O Fortuna
Carmina Burana: O Fortuna
Oh fortuna
O Fortune
Velut luna
Like the moon
Statu variabilis.
You are ever changing.
Semper crescis
Ever waxing
Aut decrescis
Or waning
Vita detestabilis
Hated life
Nuc obdurat
Now hardens
Et tunc curat
And then lightens
Ludo mentis aciem
The sharpness of the mind
Egestatem
Poverty
Potestatem
Power
Dissolvit ut glaciem
Melts like ice
Sors immanis
Cruel fate
Et inanis
And empty
Rota tu voluvilis
Your capricious wheel
Status malus
Evil state
Vana salus
Vain salvation
Semper dissolubilis
Always perishable
Obumbrata
Darkened
Et velata
And veiled
Mihi quoque niteris
You also threaten me
Nunc per ludum
Now in jest
Dorsum nudum
Naked back
Fero tui sceleris
I bear the whip of your crime
Sors salutis
Fate of health
Et virtutis
And virtue
Michi nunc contraria
Now contrary to me
Est affectus
Is suffering
Et defectus
And failure
Semper in angaria
Always in misery
Hac in hora
At this hour
Sine mora
Without delay
Corde pulsum tangite
Plucked the string of the heart
Quod per sorten
That by fate
Sternit fortem
Fells the strong
Mecum omnes plangite!
Mourn with me all!
