《O Fortuna》是瑞典交響金屬樂隊Therion於2000年創作並演唱的歌曲，收錄於專輯《Deggial》。該作品改編自13世紀拉丁詩歌集《布蘭詩歌》同名篇章，延續了對命運無常的哲學探討。
歌詞以拉丁語寫成，通過“命運之輪”等意象描繪命運的變幻莫測，質問人類在貧富、權力等對立境遇中的脆弱性。作品結合交響金屬與古典音樂元素，運用管弦樂及合唱編排強化戲劇張力，編曲結構複雜，體現出樂隊對交響歌劇金屬風格的駕馭。

歌曲歌詞
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.
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.
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 man,
Mecum omnes plangite! everyone weep with me!
