O Fortuna
Aion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
semper crescis aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludomentis aciem,
Sors immanis et inanis, rotatu volubilis,
status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum dorsum nudum ferotui sceleris.
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria
est affectus et defectus semper in angaria.
Hoc in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite !!
The lyrics of "O Fortuna" by Aion are a Latin hymn to the goddess of fortune, Fortuna. The song is filled with powerful imagery depicting life's unpredictable nature and the agony and ecstasy that accompany it. It opens with the declaration that Fortuna is as changeable as the moon, forever increasing and decreasing, representing the ebb and flow of life. The lyrics go on to describe how life is detestable and can be both crushing and healing, and how power and poverty can both be fleeting, like melting ice.
The chorus speaks to the cruel and empty nature of fate, which is constantly in rotation and subject to change. It is described as a bad state, empty salvation, and something that hangs over the singer. The singer is then suddenly thrust into a game of chance in which they become a pawn in a sinister plot. The lyrics then describe how the singer feels like they are suffering from a lack of both salvation and virtue, and how they are constantly oppressed.
The final stanza is a call to action for the listeners to take heart in the hour of need, and to mourn together for the mighty fallen. The song ultimately conveys a sense of powerlessness in the face of the whims of fate, yet simultaneously unites the listener in a communal experience of catharsis.
