Music for a basketball rivalry (Duke and UNC)

I first heard the song on a US Marines commercial twenty-something years ago.  I even used it as the background music for a video that I have posted on Facebook about a trip I took to castle Chillon a few years ago.  It is an epic song with a lot of force and always seems to evoke feelings of war.  That is what the Duke - UNC basketball game usually resembles ... WAR.

Carmin Burana - O Fortuna (Andre Rieu)

I never understood the lyrics, but it seemed not to matter.  The lyrics are part of a Latin poem from the 13th century.  It is all about luck and fortune.  It was set to music by Carl Orff (Germany) in the 1930's as part of a cantata that he wrote.  The lyrics and translation (courtesy Wikipedia) are given below.  It actually speaks of impending doom!

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!

O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable, ever waxing and waning; hateful life first oppresses and then soothes as fancy takes it; poverty and power it melts them like ice. Fate – monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent, well-being is vain and always fades to nothing, shadowed and veiled you plague me too; now through the game I bring my bare back to your villainy. Fate is against me in health and virtue, driven on and weighted down, always enslaved. So at this hour without delay pluck the vibrating strings; since Fate strikes down the strong man, everyone weep with me!
