[DEATH TO THE CARDINAL:]
[GERMAN]
Springet auf mit euerm roten hut
Her kardinal, der tanz ist gut.
Ir habt gesegnet wol die leien,
Ir müst nun mit den toten reien.
[ENGLISH]
Spring up with your red hat,
Mr. Cardinal, the dance is good.
You have blessed the lay [people] well
and must now dance with Death.
[CARDINAL TO DEATH:]
[LATIN]
Ecclesiae gratus fui per papam piliatus;
Mortis protervam nunc stringor adire catervam.
[GERMAN]
Ich was mit pabstlicher wal
Der heiligen kirchen kardinal.
Nun bin ich darzu gezwungen gar,
Das ich tanz an des todes schar.
[ENGLISH]
I was through papal election
cardinal for the holy church.
Now I am completely coerced to it
so I'm dancing in the troop of dead.
