O Fortuna comes from the cantata Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. First staged in 1937 to huge success, Carmina Burana has since become a staple of the symphonic repertoire and has been used in popular culture ever since. O Fortuna is the most used portion, with its truly epic opening and closing of this large work. This piano arrangement of O Fortuna captures the exciting opening and intense build up that audiences around the world have come to know well.

Original Text (Lyrics):
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!

O Fortuna, the one song that gets played in pretty much everything and still somehow has it's meaning intact.

The lyrics...


Gopher tuna!!
Bring more tuna!!
Statue of big dog with fleas!
Some men like cheese
Hot temperate cheese
Green chalk can taste like
HIPPIES
You caught two rocks
Pet two cool rats
You don’t get cheese or chicken
Play chess all day
Hold his sock tip
She sold me good hot chicken
Saucy hot peas
Get me COD please
Rock talk to boy who believes
Suck juice from moose
Fun handsome goose
Cement pizza noobie please!
Open bra top
Get him locked up
Leaky aquaritaries
Look there, fruit loop
Don’t sue Youtube!
They wrote the dictionary
Salsa cookies
Windmill Cookies
They gave you gonorrhea
This octopus
Let’s give him boots
Send him to North Korea
Ow, paper cut
Sandpaper, aah!
Potato soup and chicken
Go taste the dip
Made with cool whip
Make room for

Piece of lovely cake!
