Carmina Burana: Fortune Plango Vulnera

guitar chords lyrics

The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Rutgers University Choir & Eugene Ormandy

Fortune plango vulnera
stillantibus ocellis
quod sua michi munera

subtrahit rebellis.
Verum est, quod legitur,
fronte capillata,
sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.
In Fortune solio
sederam elatus,
prosperitatis vario
flore coronatus;
quicquid enim florui
felix et beatus,
nunc a summo corrui

quicquid enim florui
felix et beatus,
nunc a summo corrui
gloria privatus.
Fortune rota volvitur:
descendo minoratus;
alter in altum tollitur;
nimis exaltatus
rex sedet in vertice
caveat ruinam!
nam sub axe legimus
Hecubam reginam.
