Todt zum Graffen:
Herr Graff gebt mir das Bottenbrodt,
Es zeucht euch hin der bitter Todt:
Lasst euch nicht rewen Weib und Kind,
Ihr müsst tantzen mit diesem G’sind.
Death to The Count:
Mr. Count, give me the messenger’s bread.
The bitter Death pulls you away.
Don’t mourn over wife and child.,
You must dance with these servants.
Der Graff:
In dieser Welt war ich bekannt,
Darzu ein Edler Graff genannt:
Nun bin ich von dem Todt gefellt,
Und her an diesen Tantz gestellt.
The Count:
In this world I was [well] known,
and also called a noble Count.
Now I’m felled by Death,
and placed here in this dance.
Todt zum Ritter:
Herr Ritter ihr sind angeschrieben,
Ritterschafft die müssen ihr treiben,
Mit dem Tode und seinen Knechten,
Es hilfft weder streitten noch fechten.
Death to The Knight:
Mr. Knight, you have been written down
that you must practice chivalry
with Death and his servants.
It helps you neither to struggle nor fight.
Der Ritter:
Ich alß ein strenger Ritter gut
Hab der Welt dient mit hohem Muth:
Nun bin ich wider Ritters Orden
An diesen Tantz gezwungen worden.
The knight:
I -- as a stern knight --
have served the world well with noble mind.
Now I’ve been -- against knights’ order --
coerced to this dance.
I think the Knight and his Death have met before.
Note the the sword cut in Death’s skull.
<b<Chigau
You beat me to it.
And the Knight’s Death has more clothes , and even armour, than any Death we’ve seen so far.
The Knight has a look of Sean Bean in ‘Lord of the Rings’ about him.
The Count’s Death, on the other hand, looks surprisingly undeath-like, what with the skin on the skull and the wisps of hair and no grinning teeth.
Whats that with that spike on the grafs shoulder? i have not seen something like that before.
@ rq: yes, it looks very calm, too.
