Eduardo Mata, London Symphony Chorus & London Symphony Orchestra - Orff: Carmina Burana

Carmina Burana, Fortuna imperatrix mundi: O Fortuna

O fortuna
Velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors inmanis
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.
sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et deffectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quodper sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
