rota fortunae


  • O Fortuna, velut luna, statu variabilis. O Fortune, like the moon, always changing.
  • Sors immanis
    et inanis,
    rota tu volubilis,
    status malus,
    vana salus
    semper dissolubilis,
    obumbrata
    et velata
    michi quoque niteris;
    nunc per ludum
    dorsum nudum
    fero tui sceleris.

    Fate,
    inhumandevoid of reasonyour wheel turns, rolling darklythe vanity of health - which always fadesshadowed, veilednow thou dost me attackand for your game my naked backis bare to your evil.
