Carl Orff
Carmina Burana
O Fortuna(拉丁文) O Fortune(英译文) 命运女神(中译文)
O Fortuna, O Fortune, 哦，命运啊,
velut luna like the moon 如月亮般
statu variabilis, you are changeable, 变幻无常,
semper crescis ever waxing 时而满盈
aut decrescis; and waning; 时而缺虚;
vita detestabilis hateful life 可恨的人生啊,
nunc obdurat first oppresses 先是坎坷
et tunc curat and then soothes 后又平顺
ludo mentis aciem, as fancy takes it; 如被命运玩于股掌;
egestatem, poverty 无论贫贱
potestatem and power 还是富贵
dissolvit ut glaciem. it melts them like ice. 终如冰雪融化般消逝;
Sors immanis Fate - monstrous 命运之轮,
et inanis, and empty, 诡异虚无,
rota tu volubilis, you whirling wheel, 无情地不停转动,
status malus, you are malevolent, 恶毒残酷,
vana salus well-being is vain 将美满与幸福
semper dissolubilis, and always fades to nothing, 转瞬摧毁成空;
obumbrata shadowed 藏身阴影,
et velata and veiled 迷离莫辨,
michi quoque niteris; you plague me too; 亦将我折磨.
nunc per ludum now through the game 此刻听凭运气
dorsum nudum I bring my bare back 赤手空拳
fero tui sceleris. to your villainy. 向你讨个公道
Sors salutis Fate is against me 命运与我为敌
et virtutis in health 摧残健康,
michi nunc contraria, and virtue, 打击意志,
est affectus driven on 无情打击,
et defectus and weighted down, 残暴压迫,
semper in angaria. always enslaved. 奴役我心.
Hac in hora So at this hour 就在此刻,
sine mora without delay 再莫迟疑
corde pulsum tangite; pluck the vibrating strings; 拨响悲伤的挽歌,
quod per sortem since Fate 为被命运
sternit fortem, strikes down the string man, 所击败的强者,
mecum omnes plangite! everyone weep with me! 皆与我一同饮泣悲叹吧!
