Da sind sie alle einander nah, diese Herren,
die aus Frankreich kommen und aus Burgund,
aus den Niederlanden, aus Kärntens Tälern,
von den böhmischen Burgen und vom Kaiser Leopold.
Denn was der Eine erzählt,
das haben auch sie erfahren und gerade so.
Als ob es nur eine Mutter gäbe . . .

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In this they are all close to each other, these gentlemen,
who come from France and from Burgundy,
from the Netherlands, from the valleys of Kaernten,
from the Bohemian castles and from Emperor Leopold.
Because what one of them is recounting,
they have also experienced, and just like that.
As if there were only one mother . . .
