《O Fortuna (Carmina Burana)》歌词

[00:00:00] O Fortuna, O Fortune,

[00:00:07] velut luna like the moon

[00:00:13] statu variabilis, you are changeable,

[00:00:23] semper crescis ever waxing

[00:00:26] aut decrescis; and waning;

[00:00:29] vita detestabilis hateful life

[00:00:34] nunc obdurat first oppresses

[00:00:37] et tunc curat and then soothes

[00:00:39] ludo mentis aciem, as fancy takes it;

[00:00:45] egestatem, poverty

[00:00:47] potestatem and power

[00:00:49] dissolvit ut glaciem. it melts them like ice.

[00:00:54] Sors immanis Fate - monstrous

[00:00:58] et inanis, and empty,

[00:01:00] rota tu volubilis, you whirling wheel,

[00:01:05] status malus, you are malevolent,

[00:01:08] vana salus well-being is vain

[00:01:10] semper dissolubilis, and always fades to nothing,

[00:01:15] obumbrata shadowed

[00:01:18] et velata and veiled

[00:01:20] michi quoque niteris; you plague me too;

[00:01:25] nunc per ludum now through the game

[00:01:28] dorsum nudum I bring my bare back

[00:01:30] fero tui sceleris. to your villainy.

[00:01:36] Sors salutis Fate is against me

[00:01:38] et virtutis in health

[00:01:41] michi nunc contraria, and virtue,

[00:01:46] est affectus driven on

[00:01:49] et defectus and weighted down,

[00:01:52] semper in angaria. always enslaved.

[00:01:56] Hac in hora So at this hour

[00:01:59] sine mora without delay

[00:02:02] corde pulsum tangite; pluck the vibrating strings;

[00:02:07] quod per sortem since Fate

[00:02:09] sternit fortem, strikes down the string man,

[00:02:12] mecum omnes plangite! everyone weep with me!
