O Fortuna [English translation]

Thou Goddess Of Fortune1

Alike an Moon

Ye're ever-changing,

At times plentiful

or fruitless

Abdominable life/ways

It Roughens at times

Afterwards 'tis easing

By a mind thought

poorness

wealthiness

turned/ minimised (them) stone cold

Monstruous and

misterious fate,

Wielder of the "wheels turn'

Emptiness

Jepardy to well being

Most of a 'times Ephemeral

Tucked 'afar

and in veil

Affected by ye i am too

at this hour through the cruel game

With Nothing on my back

your wickedness i face

Fate, in healthiness

and virtue,

Now 'afar from me

Afflicted

and at loss

'Ever in servitude

Follow now at this hour

right away

caress the vibrating pulse

Hince through fate

thrown down are the fearless ones

One and all weep next to I!
