Carmina Burana: O Fortuna

Carl Orff Carl Orff

Carmina Burana: O Fortune

O fortune
Like the moon
Changeable

Ever growing
Or you decrease
Hateful life
Now it's hard
And then soothes
I am playing a mental game
Poverty
Power
Like ice

Fate
And empty
You are a rolling wheel
Bad status
Vain salvation
Always disintegrating
Overshadowed
And veiled
You look at me too
Now through the game
Back bare
I will bear your crime

The fate of salvation
And of virtue
I now have the opposite
It is an emotion
And failure
Always on duty

In this hour
Without delay
Touch the heartbeat
That by lot
It spreads strong
All mourn with me
