Текст песни Wilhelm Richard Wagner - The embodiment of heaven and hell

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!

Fortune plango vulnera
stillantibus ocellis
quod sua michi munera
subtrahit rebellis.
Verum est, quod legitur,
fronte capillata,
sed plerumque sequitur
Occasio calvata.

In Fortune solio
sederam elatus,
prosperitatis vario
flore coronatus;
quicquid enim florui
felix et beatus,
nunc a summo corrui
gloria privatus.

Fortune rota volvitur:
descendo minoratus;
alter in altum tollitur;
nimis exaltatus
rex sedet in vertice
caveat ruinam!
Nam sub axe legimus
Hecubam reginam.

O, Fortuna
like the moon
you are changeable,
always creating
or destroying ;
you break the movement of life ,
that oppress,
that exalt
and mind can not comprehend you ;
that poverty ,
that power -
all shaky , like ice .

monstrous fate
and void;
from birth running wheel
hardship and disease ,
welfare vain
and does not lead to anything,
fate follows on the heels
secretly and vigilantly
for each , like the plague ;
but without hesitation
I turn back unprotected
to your evil.

And in health,
and cases
fate is always against me ,
brandishing
and destroying
always waiting in the wings.
At this hour ,
without giving time to recover,
tingle terrible string ;
they entangled
and compressed each
and everyone is crying to me!

I weep for the wounds inflicted on Destiny
and my eyes filled with tears,
it makes living gifts ,
but I stubbornly bypasses .
It is true that it is written:
her beautiful hair and bright face ,
but come closer and consider -
it will be bald .

On the throne of Destiny
I have often been raised,
surrounded
sea ​​of ​​flowers welfare;
I could flourish
happy and bless
now I fall from this peak ,
devoid of glory.

Wheel of Fortune makes turnover ;
I find myself at the bottom ;
another raised me ;
high, too high.
He is now the king -
create and destroy !
And under the axis of the wheel - the indescribable beauty
Hecuba goddess .
