O Fortuna - Carmina Burana (Cover by Maria GoJa)

Those days there are some apocalyptic vibes in the air. So I made a cover of the epic song “O Corona“ eh, I mean “O Fortuna“. It is part of Carmina Burana, a dramatic medieval manuscript, put into music by German composer Carl Orff. A story about Fortune, the empress of the world, originated in greek mythology, taking place in Springtime.

O Fortuna 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
Corde pulsum tangite
Quod per sortem
Sternit fortem
Mecum omnes plangite!

O Fortune (English translation)

O fortune,
like the moon
your are changeable

Ever growing
or decreasing
destable life
now tough
and then providing
on a whim.
Poverty, power,
melting like ice.

Fate - monstrous and empty,
ever turning wheel.
Bad state,
empty salutation,
and always fades to nothing.
Overshadowed and veiled
you advance upon me,
now through your games
my back is bare.

Fate in health
and virtue is against me,
driven on and disabled,
always enslaved.
In this hour
without hesitation
pluck the vibrating strings,
since fate strikes down fortune
everyone lament with me!
