Totentanz [English translation]

The maid is asleep in her chamber

In shivering moonlight

Just like the melody of a waltz

There's singing and tinkling outside

Let me look out of the window

The intrusion is mighty strong

Stands there a sceleton of bones

Playing fiddle and singing along

(REF)(2x)

Did you not promise me a dance

But have not kept your word

Today is the ball in the chuchyard

Come let us dance right there

The maiden appears quite shaken

In the house she will not stay

She follows the singing skeleton

That fiddles and leads the way

It fiddles, dancing and leaping

And rattles its bones so white

It nods and nods its empty skull

Out in the eerie moonlight

(REF)(2x)

(INTERLUDE)
