La muerte entra y sale de la taberna. Pasan caballos negros y gente siniestra por los hondos caminos de la guitarra. Y hay un olor a sal y a sangre [de hembra]1, en los nardos febriles de la marina. La muerte entra y sale y sale y entra la muerte de la taberna.
G. Crumb sets lines 1-3 in (at least) one setting - see below for more information

Der Tod geht ein und aus in der Taverne. Vorbei ziehn Rappen, finstres Volk aus Tiefen der Gitarre. Es riecht nach Salz und Blut der Frau aus fiebrigen Agaven am Meeresstrand. Der Tod geht ein und aus, und aus und ein geht er in der Taverne.
