Brother, when our painful years Has rumbled away in the distance And our last goblet has calmed us all to death
We saw Satan behind a crack in the clouds With a heart full of songs, with a heart full of songs for lust and whore
Our trembling souls will be judge by our lord Then our thirsty flesh is eaten by worms
Do we remember the anguish in happiness? Do we remember fear of living?
Hidden behind the shadows of fear We laughed at the stupid ones And again we raised a filled goblet Though even in the kingdom of death Fields are filled with carnation And with happiness we danced With every harlot at the jesters ball
Our trembling souls will be judge by our lord Then our thirsty flesh is eaten by worms
Do we remember the anguish in happiness? Do we remember fear of living?
Harps with ornaments, jewels and gold We will be forgiven our sins
