Saltatio Mortis "Heuchler" lyrics

Translation to:en

Heuchler

Bischof, Papst und seine PfaffenTaler, Gold und Schätze raffenPrahlerische Reden schwingenUnd das Pater Noster singen

Zungen trügerisch und giftend,Zungen laut und Unheil stiftendZungen, wert sie auszureißen,Feuer sie verbrennen heißen

Kaiser, König und der Adel,Ritter ohne Furcht und TadelOben buckeln, unten treten,Heuchelnd in der Kirche beten

Lingua mendax et dolosaLingua procax venenosaLingua digua detruncariEt in ique concremari

Zünfte, Meister und GesellenMessen mit zu kurzen EllenSollte einer Lunte riechen,In des Kadis Arsche kriechen

Hypocrite

bishop, pope and his prelatesThalers, gold and hoarding treasuresBragging with pompous speechesAnd singing the "Our Father"

Tongues, false and full of venomTongues, loud and malignTongues worth to rip them outAnd call upon fire to burn them

Emperor, King and noblemenKnights without fear and blameHump up, step downAnd praying in church like a hypocrite

A lieing and malign tongueAn impudent and poisonous tongueWorthy to be ripped out, this tongueAnd to be burned, this tongue

Guilds, masters and companionsAre measuring with false measureShould someone get wind of itThey'll creep up to the judge (1)
