O fortuna, velut luna
O fortuna, velut luna

Turn around, and smell what you don't see
Close your eyes, it's so clear
Here's the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways, you can get in
Don't think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace, for a new start
What you need, and everything you'll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you'll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love

O fortuna, velut luna

The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
(The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom)
Try to think about it
That's the chance to live your life and discover what it is
What's the gravity of love

O fortuna, velut luna

Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice
But if you're in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love (Oh)

O fortuna, velut luna
O fortuna
O fortuna
O fortuna

Enigma is a musical project founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. He recorded the first Enigma studio album, MCMXC a.D. (1990), with contributions from David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. The album remains Enigma’s biggest, helped by the international hit single, “Sadeness (Part I)”, which sold 12 million units alone.

According to Michael, the inspiration for the creation of the project came from his desire to make a kind of music that did not obey “the old rules and habits” and presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components.
