Consider the lyrics to Carmina Burana's ubiquitous opening piece, "O Fortuna," not that we'll be singing it anytime soon. Hardly apropos for Mass, it's essentially Carl Orff's setting of a medieval drinking song, but it's still a powerful tune, which is why you hear it so much in pop culture.
Anyway, here's one translation . . . or not.
Google "O Four Tuna" for others.
And if you want to know what the lyrics really say, Fr. Z's got them.
