Lyrics:

Latina

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
Corde pulsum tangite
Quod per sortem
Sternit fortem
Mecum omnes plangite
English
Like the moon
You are ever-changing
Poverty
And power
It melts them like ice
Fate, you whirling wheel,
I bring my bare back
To your villainy
Fate is against me
In health
And virtue
