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.
