Lyrics Talk:Orff Intro
From This Might Be A Wiki
This page says the intro is instrumental, but it is not. The lyrics in Latin are:
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 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.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
Now I got spanked by Wireless Mike about making "spurious contributions" to the Wiki (he didn't know it was me, he was talking to but he did complain about me TO MY FACE), so I'm not going to add it to the lyrics page but come onnnnnnn ppl you don't need to be super intellectual to notice that the music has a choral part in the back groundddddd.
