Saltatio Mortis "In Taberna" lyrics

Translation to:en

In Taberna

In taberna quando sumus,non curamus quid sit humus,sed ad ludum properamus,cui semper insudamus.Quid agatur in taberna,ubi nummus est pincerna,hoc est opus ut queratur,sic quid loquar, audiatur.

Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt,quidam indiscrete vivunt.Sed in ludo qui morantur,ex his quidam denudantur,quidam ibi vestiuntur,quidam saccis induuntur.Ibi nullus timet mortem,sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem:

Hier ein Spiel, ein Trunk danebenDort ein wahres HeidenlebenWo des Spieles wird gepflogenSieht sich mancher ausgezogenKlopft ein anderer stolz die TascheLiegt der Dritt in Sack und AscheWer wird um den Tod sich scheren?Losung ist: Zu Bacchus Ehren!

In Tavern

When we are in the tavern,we do not think how we will go to dust,but we hurry to gamble,which always makes us sweat,What happens in the tavern,where money is host,you may well ask,and hear what I say.

Some gamble, some drink,some behave loosely.But of those who gamble,some are stripped bare,some win their clothes here,some are dressed in sacks.Here no-one fears death,but they throw the dice in the name of Bacchus.

Here's a game, a drink asideThere, a true heathen lifeOf the game where it will have been caredMany see themselves as baredAnother proudly knocks the bagThe third lies in sackcloth and ashesWho will care for death?Solution is: To honor Bacchus!
