Carmina Burana: II. Fortune plango vulnera - Orquesta Filarmónica De La Mancha

Fortune plango vulnera

stillantibus ocellis

quod sua michi munera

subtrahit rebellis.

Verum est, quod legitur,

fronte capillata,

sed plerumque sequitur

Occasio calvata.

In Fortune solio

sederam elatus,

prosperitatis vario

flore coronatus;

quicquid enim florui

felix et beatus,

nunc a summo corrui

gloria privatus.

Fortune rota volvitur:

descendo minoratus;

alter in altum tollitur;

nimis exaltatus

rex sedet in vertice

caveat ruinam!

nam sub axe legimus

Hecubam reginam.

Fortuna

bemoaning

that's his gift to me

robs the rebels.

It is true that we read

fine hair

but usually follows

An opportunity to lose it all.

On the throne of Fortune

i sat puffed up

success by varying

crowned with flower

for whatever blossomed

happy and happy

now I have fallen from the top

deprived of glory.

Fortune's wheel turns

I descend lower;

the other is removed on fire;

exceedingly exalted

the king sits on the top

take care of the fall!

for we read under the axis

Queen Hecuba.
