STARTING THE WEEK WITH ... CARMINA BURANA

"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate and Fortuna, the personification of luck in Roman mythology.

In 1935–36, "O Fortuna" was set to music by German composer Carl Orff as a part of "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", the opening and closing movement of his cantata Carmina Burana.



O Fortuna - Latin
 English
Translation
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!
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.

Fate – monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!
Oh Fortuna,
como la luna
variable de estado,
siempre creces
o decreces;
¡Que vida tan detestable!
ahora oprime
después alivia
como un juego,
a la pobreza
y al poder
lo derritió como al hielo.

Suerte monstruosa
y vacía,
tu rueda gira,
perverso,
la salud es vana
siempre se difumina,
sombrío
y velado
también a mí me mortificas;
ahora en el juego
llevo mi espalda desnuda
por tu villanía.

La Suerte en la salud
y en la virtud
está contra mí,
me empuja
y me lastra,
siempre esclavizado.
En esta hora,
sin tardanza,
toca las cuerdas vibrantes,
porque la Suerte
derriba al fuerte,
llorad todos conmigo.
