O Fortunavelut lunastatu variabilis,semper crescisaut decrescis;vita detestabilisnunc obduratet tunc curatludo mentis aciem,egestatem,potestatemdissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immaniset inanis,rota tu volubilis,status malus,vana salussemper dissolubilis,obumbrataet velatamichi quoque niteris;nunc per ludumdorsum nudumfero tui sceleris.
Sors salutiset virtutismichi nunc contraria,est affectuset defectussemper in angaria.Hac in horasine moracorde pulsum tangite;quod per sortemsternit fortem,mecum omnes plangite!
*If this song's eerily familiar, you might have seen therogin-E commercial (some guy running alongsidea horse on a volcanic landscape). It is a little known fact that this song deals with a lot of angst. It can even be said that the person singing is whining about fortunebeing cruel.
Unfortunately, there's nothing (IMHO) in the commercial thatwill lead you to believe that the writers/producers/director/took some time to study the song...
One could go so far and say that it's inappropriate for the commercial...
It's way, way, way, way off...
Somehow, I'm not surprised...
Why not?
.... maybe next time i'll write about Big Brother andexplain why...
