O Fortuna!

[sarcasmowo]

Translation to Carl Orff's O Fortuna. 
Found it and thought it was pretty.

O Fortuna - O Fortune,

velut luna - like the moon

statu variabilis, - you are changeable,

semper crescis - ever waxing

aut decrescis; - and waning;

vita detestabilis - hateful life

nunc obdurat - first oppresses

et tunc curat - and then soothes

ludo mentis aciem, - as fancy takes it;

egestatem, - poverty

potestatem - and power

dissolvit ut glaciem. - it melts them like ice.

Sors immanis - Fate - monstrous

et inanis, - and empty,

rota tu volubilis, - you whirling wheel,

status malus, - you are malevolent,

vana salus - well-being is vain

semper dissolubilis, - and always fades to nothing,

obumbrata - shadowed

et velata - and veiled

michi quoque niteris; - you plague me too;

nunc per ludum - now through the game

dorsum nudum - I bring my bare back

fero tui sceleris. - to your villainy.

Sors salutis - Fate is against me

et virtutis - in health

michi nunc contraria, - and virtue,

est affectus - driven on

et defectus - and weighted down,

semper in angaria. - always enslaved.

Hac in hora - So at this hour

sine mora - without delay

corde pulsum tangite; - pluck the vibrating strings;

quod per sortem - since Fate

sternit fortem, - strikes down the string man,

mecum omnes plangite! - every one weep with me!
