O Fortuna

O Fortuna


O Fortuna
Oh, Fortune!

velut luna statu variabilis
Like the moon you change:semper crescis, aut decrescis
ever waxing, ever waning.
vita detestabilis
Our vexing life
nunc obdurat, et tunc curat
first injures, then nurtures
ludo mentis aciem
as it pleases.

egestatem, potestatem
Subordination, Power--
dissolvit ut glaciem.
both melt like ice.
