12. Galgenlied (Gallows Song)
Die dürre Dirne
Mit langem Halse
Wird seine letzte
Geliebte sein.
In seinem Hirne
Steckt wie ein Nagel
Die dürre Dirne
Mit langem Halse.
Schlank wie die Pinie,
Am Hals ein Zöpfchen -
Wollüstig wird sie
Den Schelm umhalsen,
Die dürre Dirne!
The withered whore
With stringy neck
Will be his last
Beloved.
In his brains
Stuck like a nail
The withered whore
With stringy neck.
Slim, like the stonepine
On her neck a small tuft--
Lustfully will she
Circle the rogue's neck,
The withered whore!
