@choochootrayn It was in fact used as "an epic battle march song" in the movie Excalibur. I have always loved its dramatic intensity and used the classical version in my first video "Jonathan Frid Is the Original Barnabas Collins."
@ObsceneParanoia I am simply saying I prefer this over rap. can I not state my own feelings? I am aware this isn't the original, I was talking about the chanters. Thank you for pointing out the fact that I do sound a little cocky and I apologize.
@BlackCrystalRoseWolf All is well, I just dislike when people devalue other genres in order to make theirs seem better, but in all honesty, judging a piece in itself with no opposite is much more respectable and proper. The worst is when somebody says "thumbs up if this is better than Justin Biebs" or "WAY BETTER THAN THIS SHIT PPL CALL RAP" because the statements are so broad and the majority will vote despite the statement being simpleminded. Your case wasn't too extreme.
they make me proud to be what I am. this is music, true music. not this crap we call 'rap' or 'pop' sorry but that is just how I feel. if you don't like it then don't read it.
There is music, the stuff we call music, and then there is what I would call "music entertainment", which is what all pop and non-serious club music is. It's kind of like the difference between sports (football, basketball, baseball) and sports entertainment (wrestling).
@BlackCrystalRoseWolf Ah, but aren't you merely a human? And if my calculations are correct; "they" are humans as well. Are they not? ;) By the by, this isn't even the original, and liking this song doesn't deem you higher divinity than any other being. Carry on.

Interesting translations you guys have going. Some are incorrect thought. You should all also know that O Fortuna was originally written in the 13th century as a Gollardic poem.
Sors salutis (Fate is against me) et virtutis (in health) michi nunc contraria, (and virtue) est affectus (driven on) et defectus (and weighted down) semper in angaria. (always enslaved.) Hac in hora (So at this hour) sine mora (without delay) corde pulsum tangite; (pluck the vibrating strings;) quod per sortem (since Fate) sternit fortem, (strikes down the string) mecum omnes plangite! (everyone weep with me!)
Sors immanis (Fate - monstrous) et inanis, (and empty) rota tu volubilis, (you whirling wheel) status malus, (you are malevolent) vana salus (well-being is vain) semper dissolubilis, (and always fades to nothing) obumbrata (shadowed) et velata (and veiled) michi quoque niteris; (you plague me too;) nunc per ludum (now through the game) dorsum nudum (I bring my bare back) fero tui sceleris. (to your villainy.)
O Fortuna (O Fortune) velut luna (like the moon) statu variabilis (you are changeable) semper crescis (ever waxing) aut decrescis; (and waning;) vita detestabilis (hateful life) nunc obdurat (first oppresses) et tunc curat (and then soothes) ludo mentis aciem, (as fancy takes it) egestatem, (poverty) potestatem (and power) dissolvit ut glaciem. (it melts them like ice.)
Have any of you looked up the translation to this song? It is amazing and when you read the english lyrics along with the music it shows how deep Carl Orff dove to write this section of the whole.
@N73B60 i own a shotgun? trying to call me a girl and no a shotgun if for killing things fast were as a pistol may take a few more shots unless u have a good... REALLY good aim
"Ex umbra rose a lux lucis , unus ut gave via ut pacis procul mens quod ut lux lucis est music quod totus mos teneo lux lucis can non exsisto subsisto." I don't know the complete translation but a musician said this speaking of music it translates oddly into English but it means "Out of shade rose a light , one when gave road when peace far mind and when light is music and whole will to occupy light can not to emerge to stand." just felt like I should add that to this video :)
@elihu18migo I have to admit my Latin is a little rusty but is that "be noise to swim mistress about mistress apocalyptica! o seï parentis wing about the mass" hope it is :)
my personal favourite version :) except for one.. which i cannot seem to find. it used to be played on classic FM a while ago... a rock version of O fortuna. it isn't rhydian's version, it is fairly upbeat, it isn't the original, it isn't therion, and imo it was the best version of it of all :( shame its gone now. i dunno if anybody else can help me find it here. that would be great :)

It sounds weaker because it's in Gregorian chant. Gregorian chants are supposed to sound softer and more ethereal.
