O Fortune,
Like the moon ever changing..
You are always waxing or waning,
Hateful life gives the gambler now good luck, now bad
Poverty and power are melted like ice,
Monstrous, senseless fate,
You are a turning wheel,
With bad luck,
Good health can always be ruined
Shadowy and veiled,
You opress me too,
While I gamble,
My naked back is exposed to your wickedness,
My health and strength fail
Luck is against me,
Attacked, enfeebled,
Forever in your grip,
In this hour, without delay,
Pluck the sounding strings,
All weep with me for the strong man defeated by fate
