御霊と成りて 呼びかけん
[ Nihil aliud est ebrietas quam voluntaria insania. ]
Dabit deus his quoque finem.
Dum fata sinunt vivite laeti.
Ora. Vive hodie.
Vixi et quam dederat cursum fortuna・・・
Dii a nullo videntur, ipsi autem omnia vident.
常世に出でし 者たちよ
各々の手に 理を

Ducount volentem fata,nolentem trahunt.
Dii a nullo videntur,ipsi autem omnia vident.
Vieritas liberabit vos.
Ora. Vive hodie.
Vixi et quam dederat cursum fortuna・・・
Vieritas liberabit vos.

The lyrics to Yousei Teikoku's song "Fortuna" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to evoke an otherworldly, mystical experience. The singer begins by acknowledging the brevity of their life and calling out to the spirits, before quoting an ancient Latin phrase that suggests that drunkenness is a form of insanity. They then turn to contemplate the role that fate and God play in shaping our lives, noting that while we are subject to the whims of destiny, we should strive to live joyfully and seek truth in all things. The repetition of the phrase "Vive hodie" ("Live for today") emphasizes the idea of pursuing a fulfilling life in the present moment. The second half of the song addresses "those who went to the constant world" (perhaps the dead), and seems to suggest that each person holds a certain knowledge or "reason" that they can impart to others. The final verses reiterate the themes of fate, truth, and the mysteries of existence, culminating in the upbeat phrase "Lucet fortuna" ("Fortune shines"). Overall, "Fortuna" is a song that invites contemplation of life's fleeting pleasures and deeper meanings, using a mix of historic references and fantastical imagery.
