Der letzte Tanz [English translation]

With blaring noise

Flourish and trumpets

at the court the festival of spring

Flags were waving in the wind

Besides meat and drink and a lot of singing

To the joy of all people

A tournament with lances (or) A tournament in lance collisions

The reward was huge

Who was the last on his horse

While the others had all fallen to the ground

Is allowed to move his limbs with the King’s most dearest daughter at the dance

So they came from near and far

And dashed into the fight

Because for this beautiful woman

A lot of pain was allright

When a young knight

Nearly had won

He looked at the black knight

How he was standing at his black horse (if there’s a letter missing and they mean Pferde instead of Pfere)

“Do you want to fight or wait?”

The knight screamed

And before he even knew

He felt how to fly

So it happened

The black knight was the winner

„So I want to take my reward“

He said and kneeled down

Black clouds raised

When the music called to the dance

The people continued to stand aside in fear

When he recognized, what happened there

The last dance

She’s as tender as a rose

The last dance

The timeless one is touching her gently
