O Fortuna - Estampie

O Fortuna, velut Luna statu variabilis

Semper crescis aut decrescis;

Vita detestabilis

Nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludomentis aciem

Egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem

Sors immanis et inanis, rotatu volubilis

Status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis

Obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris;

Nunc per ludum dorsum nudum ferotui sceleris

Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria

Est affectus et defectus semper in angaria

Hoc in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite;

Quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite !!

Fortune, like the moon you are changeable

You are always growing or declining;

Hateful life

Now it's hard and then takes care of the game line

Need, power melts like ice

The fate of the huge and empty, rolling wheel

A bad state, a futile salvation, always disintegrating

Shadowed and veiled you also look upon me;

Now through the game the bare back of the brutal crime

The fate of health and strength is now against me

There is emotion and failure always in the mix

Touch this in an hour without delay to the beating of the heart;

That spread the strong through the lot, mourn with me all !!
