Sängerkrieg [English translation]

Back in then as much as today the bards are disputing

like Neidhart and Walter did 800 years ago

larks are lilting, cocks are courting

like pigs wallowing happily

The first means to be the winner of the fight

he`s beweeped from the other for beeing the looser

and as you think you see the winner

you see him billowed underneath

Only cause we stick together all the time

this seed have been thriving in this fight

soon, there will be the first crinkles at the ass

an In Extermo will never bend his knees

On some places there are dens of thives

where gangs are clattering with their weapons

steared up blood, the cocks are bawling

a tooth for a tooth but they are srewing it up

This song lumbers through the swarm of enviousness

Take it from me our let it be

I steal you a ladder high into the sky

and kiss the lunar rock for you

The place is few on those rungs

Only one can escape into the sky

damn it, we enjoyed the happiness

an In Extremo will never bend his knees

The world is endless as you can see

it doesn`t only hold this single treasure

Everyone is singing his own song

There was enough place for all of them atbards the Wartburg

The winner is ony noble if he`s modestly

and if he is he will be shined by the sun

never mind, that`s the rule

an In Extremo will never bend his knees
