This song is actually from a cycle of 20 or so songs by Carl Orff called Carmina Burana, or in the Latin name, "Songus Profaenus." This song is called "O Fortuna," and speaks about the Wheel of Fortune and how it continuesly turns. Carmina Burana also ends with this same song.
If you want to know how I know, I performed it with the Governor's School for the Arts in Norfolk, VA last year. I was one of the baritone soloists.
