guess I wasnt the only one who thought this tune would make a great vid with 300.................hope you like!
no other song competes or gets the blood going like this one. I try to not jam entire movie into 5 mins, so this way if you havent seen this movie yet, YOU WILL!
crank it up, and make your family wonder why you are listening to opera!!!
I have not seen any other long versions of this song, so hopefully this one makes a difference.
also, I forget to mention this was made for member Cunning Linguist, the only other member that has just about the same music tastes as me, hope you like CL!
EDIT:
this was performed by the Atlanta Philharmonic, taken from the movie EXCALIBUR soundtrack. 1980s!

texte en latin :
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 imanis
Et inanis
Rota tu volubilis
Status malus
Vana salus
Semper dissolubilis
Obumrata
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

In english:
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning;
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
Fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the string man,
everyone weep with me!
Carl Orff's Carmina Burana directed by Jean-Pierre, Ponnelle (1975).

Introduction
Fortune, Empress of the World
1. O Fortuna (Chorus)
2. Fortune plango vulnera (Chorus)
1. O Fortuna (Chorus)
O fortune like the moon,
you even want
but to regain your former circumstance;
life's equally fain
to decimate
as reinstate
the mind with games of chance,
prosperity
and penury
reversing with a glance.
Immense and futile fat,
uneasy ground
safety unsound
mistakenly awaited,
to your wheel I'm bound;
you've hidden your face
denied your grace,
for sorrow was I slated,
I've lost the knack
This barren back
Shows what you've penetrated.
Unknown to me remain,
salvation's lot,
of virtue aught;
equally loss an d again
await the hangman's knot.
This very hour
fails my power,
my pulse beats on the wane --
fortune's a knave
to impale the brave,
All weep now for my pain.
2. Fortune plango vulnera (Chorus)
Fortune's blows do I lament,
my eyes, with weeping, red,
to find her favors but for rent
and she, the harlot, fled.
True to form is her intent
all riches to impart,
And then flee with your every cent
and leave you there to smart.
Once I sat aloft, secure,
on Lady Fortune's throne.
Thinking her favors would endure,
but now stripped to the bone.
Once was I fully fatly grown,
massaged and manicured,
My former self's now over thrown,
my misery, assured.
Fortune's wheel slowly turns
and leaves me sorely bowed,
since Fortune's warms increasing burns
the thoughtless overproud.
Let high seated potentates
the wheel's script discern:
Hs royal person and his mate's
collected in an urn.
Lol!!! I was listening to this song while watching The Slew Jumping Movie (starring Son Of Slew) when I started hearing the TRUE lyrics to the song!!! It all started when I heard "Give me cookies". I knew I must show the world the REAL words!!! Lol Don't worry I didn't do the whole song!!
