Orff Carl
Carmina Burana Original
Fortune Weeps Wounds (Chorus)
Fortune weeps wounds
dropping eyes
which takes away its gifts to me
from the rebels.
It is true that it is read,
hairy forehead,
but usually follows
A bald occasion. />crowned with a flower;
For whatever I flourished
Happy and blessed,
I have now fallen from the top
Deprived of glory.
The wheel of fortune turns:
I descend diminished;
the other is raised on high;
exalted too much
the king sits on the top
may he fall!
for under the axis we read
Queen Hecuba.
