Most folks know O Fortuna! from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana from the soundtrack to Excalibur. Or maybe they know that Hitler was supposed to be fond of the piece. However you've come across it, and I'm betting that you certainly have, it is a bit tough to get all of the nuances because it is sung in Latin and most of us have pretty rusty Latin skills.
Don't despair! Some kind soul has posted an absolutely stupendous ENGLISH version of Carmina Burana. (Hit reload when you reach the page to ensure proper synchronization of the music and images. From The Rest is Noise)
P.S. The post title will make more sense after you have clicked through.
