Sors immanis

     et inanis,

        rota tu volubilis,

           status malus,

              vana salus

                semper dissolubilis,

                   obumbrata

                      et velata

                         michi quoque niteris;

                            nunc per ludum

                               dorsum nudum

                                   fero tui sceleris. 

                                   Sors salutis

                                   et virtutis

                                       michi 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!

 

 Oh Fortuna. Carmina Burana
