Danse Macabre from Labyrinth by Waldkauz
Der Danse Macabre - der Totentanz -
holt schließlich alle Menschen ein,
ob König oder Bettler, Priester oder Gelehrter.
Eine Erinnerung daran, dass auch sie sterben
und sich dem Festzug des Todes anschließen werden.
„Faictez vous valoir a la danse.
Sur tout homme mort a victoire.“
Put your best foot forward at the dance.
Death is victorious over all men.
(Unknown 15th C. Author,
La Danse Macabre, ll. 285-6.
Translated by Elizaveta Strakhov.)

Lyrics
Zig et zig et zig, la mort en cadence
Frappant une tombe avec son talon,
La mort à minuit joue un air de danse,
Zig et zig et zig, sur son violon
Zig et zig et zig, la mort continue
D`racler sans fin son aigre instrument.
Un voile est tombé! La danseuse est nue!
Son danseur la serre amoureusement
[Death rhythmically
Taps upon a tomb with his heel
At midnight Death plays a dance air,
on his violin
Death continues,
Scraping without end his screeching violin
A veil has fallen! The dancer is nude!
Her partner squeezes her amorously]
