It\u2019s called \u201c<strong>Fortune Plango Vulnera<\/strong>\u201d. In English it means \u201cI Lament the Wounds that Fortune Deals\u201d. It\u2019s not as popular as \u201cO Fortuna\u201d but it\u2019s a good song. In the song \u201cFortune Plango Vulnera\u201d, a person called Queen Hecuba is mentioned. If you\u2019re wondering who that is, it\u2019s the mother of Hector and Cassandra in \u201cThe Illiad\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carmina Burana - II.
