O Fortuna

[@TheFF1nf1n1ty]

this song will always be a part of mankind, it describes the struggles that we have endured over the years and (in a way) how we overcome them.

[@aaronwilliford7345]

Wow... That's even more powerful seeing the words. The music conveys them so perfectly.

[@emonlim8227]

It's like you're judging by the Gods in the after life. Scary

[@DJSKWhirl]

This is the most epic song for everything everywhere, I love this thanx for posting this , It means alot to me

[@MrSmartComment]

"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the thirteenth century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and personification of luck. Wikipedia

[@skullruss]

This song is even more beautiful than I ever imagined now

[@jklein796]

This song made my 4 month old cry, lol it was to cute

[@ziknik7795]

i believe its part of a requiem which is a series of songs meant to be played at a funeral and i believe carl orff was the conductor of this choir that sang this but was not the composer

[@HDunleashedLP]

Very nice Song. We had it in our Music lesson. And it was Perfect

[@CarolPetunia]

That's some of the finest music ever written, whether anybody flies up to heaven today or not. :-)

[@miesrah12]

@MoonPhase94 no because he did not made the lyrics, it was medieval students and clergymen as part of Carmina Burana a group of 254 poems and songs

[@21vgkoab]

Does anyone know what version this is and if it can be bought on iTunes ?

[@thomasmatthews9495]

But what does it all mean, I have always love this song, Although I've always found it eerie, It gives me the feeling , shit is about to go down, or justice is about to be dealt, Or the devil is about to arrive, I've loved it since I was a child watching Excalibur. Please someone fill me in to what it's all about.

[@KipperStudios]

+thomas matthews Basically it all means that life is fucking rough and it doesn't matter how strong/prosperous/skilled you are - tomorrow things could change and you could lose it all or even die. It's saying that no matter who you are, you cannot control what will ultimately happen. The strong will perish alongside the weak, the young will die like the old. Fate is never at your side.

[@thomasmatthews9495]

Niall Mullenger WOW, The truth is, iv'e always took life that way. Try to live every moment like it's the last. Thanks for replying, I get it now. Thanks again

[@nebelparder9]

"Fortuna" refers to the goddess of fate, it shouldn't be translated to "fortune".
