Drei Wanderer [English translation]

Three wanderers were out

And when the evening fell

Then they felt like

A happy game of cards

The youngest said: "Please

Tell me, is it for money? "

The third gave the answer

"We play for the world"

The third gave the answer

"We play for the world"

The youngest free from grief

And fresh like a May day

He threw the queen of hearts,

Laughing brightly, on the table

That shouldn't make you grieve

I had the best piece

Nobody shall take that away from me

Hurra, I'm Luck

Nobody shall take that away from me

Hurra, I'm Luck

The second, with the pale

Furrowed face

Said, "Brother, skip your boasting

I'm not afraid of this card

What does your tears concern me

And what your red heart?

I sting with the ten of clubs

Give space, I am The Pain

I sting with the ten of clubs

Give space, I am The Pain"

The third, dull tones

Had he secretly just laughed,

Then spoke in bitter mockery

"What fun you make,

I release the world from suffering

Happiness and pain and need

I'll get both of you

Take that, I'm Death

I'll get both of you

Take that, I'm Death"

Three wanderers were out

And when the evening fell

Then they felt like

A happy game of cards

Then they felt like

A happy game of cards
