Flying Dutchman Kerkrade Holland. July 10, 2004 From The Flying Dutchman Kerkrade Holland ----- Lyrics in Latin English ----- O Fortuna --- O Fortune, velut luna --- like the moon statu variabilis, --- you are changeable, semper crescis --- ever waxing aut decrescis; --- and waning; vita detestabilis --- hateful life nunc obdurat --- first oppresses et tunc curat --- and then soothes ludo mentis aciem, --- as fancy takes it; egestatem --- poverty potestatem --- and power dissolvit ut glaciem. --- it melts them like ice. Sors immanis --- Fate - monstrous et inanis, --- and empty, rota tu volubilis, --- you whirling wheel, status malus, --- you are malevolent, vana salus --- well-being is vain semper dissolubilis, --- and always fades to nothing, obumbrata --- shadowed et velata --- and veiled michi quoque niteris; --- you plague me too; nunc per ludum --- now through the game dorsum nudum --- I bring my bare back fero tui sceleris. --- to your villainy. Sors salutis --- Fate is against me et virtutis --- in health michi nunc contraria, --- and virtue, est affectus --- driven on et defectus --- and weighted down, semper in angaria. --- always enslaved. Hac in hora --- So at this hour sine mora --- without delay corde pulsum tangite; --- pluck the vibrating strings; quod per sortem --- since Fate sternit fortem, --- strikes down the strong man, mecum omnes plangite! - everyone weep with me!
