Carmina Burana by Carl Off .
" Fortune Plango Vulnera " is just one of the parts of it .
In English translated :
Oh Fortune ,
like the moon
you are changeable ,
ever waxing
and waning ;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it ;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice .
Fate - monstrous
and empty ,
you whirling wheel ,
you are malevolent ,
well-being is in vain
and always fades to nothing ,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too ;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
Fate is against me
in health
and virtue ,
driven on
and weighted down ,
always enslaved .
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings ;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man ,
everybody weep with me ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. . . . . . . . . . . . . |
