I created this using GIMP 2.10.24.

A similar piece can be seen here.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

O Fortuna - Carl Orff

O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis,
Semper crescis
Aut decrescis;
Vita detestabilis
Nunc obdurat
Et tunc curat
Ludo mentis aciem,
Egestatem,
Potestatem
Dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis
Et inanis,
Rota tu volubilis,
Status malus,
Vana salus
Semper dissolubilis,
Obumbrata
Et velata
Michi quoque niteris;
Nunc per ludum
Dorsum nudum
Fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
Et virtutis
Michi nunc contraria,
Est affectus
Et defectus
Semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
Sine mora
Corde pulsum tangite
Quod per sortem
Sternit fortem,
Mecum omnes plangite!

Interesting. For a German a bit painful.
I needed google translate for the text. Quite sad? The text. (also the fact I needed google... ;-)...)

It should be compulsory for everyone to listen to Carmina Burana at least once!
