Powerful! Earthy! It's Carmina Burana - O fortuna! by Carl Orff
The lyric translation would be considered vulgar and rude, very lusty even today!
...so I presented it here in Latin for your amusement and confusement!
I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

....Lusty; a very good description of the lyrics. Definitely lusty.Someplace in a huge pile of 33 1/3 LP's I inherited from my folks is a copy of the Carmine Brainey. I am going to have to get something I can play records on or put them on CD's or something.
