Spielmannsschwur [English translation]

We are like the wind

we can't be locked up

wild and free...

Ooh-ooh ...

No jail can hold us

so pour another yet again,

we are born to be fiddlers.

The noose that can bind us

has not yet been braided,

the servant who murders us,

has not fought yet.

The woman who holds us

is not born yet,

so have all minstrels sworn.

[Chorus:]

We are like the wind

we can't be locked up

wild and free

that's how we want to be.

No jail can hold us

so pour another yet again,

we are born to be fiddlers.

[End of chorus]

The dagger that assassinates us

is not forged yet,

the chain on the neck

is not riveted yet.

The wine we avoid

is not fermented yet,

so have all minstrels sworn.

[Chorus:]

Who wanders with us, shares our life,

who wanders with us will be given everything.

Who wanders with us stands up for us,

who wanders with us will never be alone again.

A bourgeois has no business with us,

so have all minstrels sworn.

[Refrain (varied):]

We are like the wind

we can't be locked up

wild and free

that's how we want to be.

No jail can hold us

so pour another yet again,

wild and free

Ooh-ooh...

No woman can ban us,

the world is too small,

wild and free

Ooh-ooh...

Just like the wind

you don't lock us up

we are born

to be fiddlers.

We are like the wind,

don't lock us up,

wild and free

Oohooh...
