Aus mir braust finst're Tanzmusik
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus mir braust finst're Tanzmusik Meine Seele kracht in tausend Stücken! Der Teufel holt sich mein Missgeschick Um es ans brandige Herz zu drücken. Die Rosen fliegen mir aus dem Haar Und mein Leben saust nach allen Seiten, So tanz' ich schon seit tausend Jahr, Seit meiner ersten Ewigkeiten

Ma chanson de danse
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Une sombre musique de danse sort de moi Mon âme éclate en mille morceaux ! Le diable se saisit de mon malheur Pour le presser sur un cœur gangrené. Les roses s'envolent de mes cheveux Et ma vie file de tous côtés, Je danse ainsi depuis mille ans déjà, Depuis mes premières éternités.
