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

mihi quoque niteris;

nunc per ludum

dorsum nudum

fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis

et virtutis

mihi nunc contraria;

est affectus

et defectus

semper in angaria.

hac in hora

sine mora

cordae pulsum tangite!

quod per sortem

sternit fortem,

mecum omnes plangite!
