Paroles et traduction Estampie - Cry de la Mort

Cry de la Mort

Cry de la mort, cry de la mort
To to to que chascun savance
Main a main venir a la dance
Macabre. Danser la convient
Tous et a plusieurs nen souvient
Que qant sera, sera force de venir
Bien tart sera sen souvenir
Venez hommes femmes enfans
Jeunes et vieulz petis et grans

Cry de la mort, cry de la mort
To to to que chascun savance
Main a main venir a la dance
Macabre. Danser la convient
Tous et a plusieurs nen souvient
Venez les vaibles, les faibles et les fors
De bien y danser faire effors
Ung tout seul nen eschapperoit
Pour mille escus si les donnoit

Et pour tant ce commandement
Faiz a tous vous que brevement
Sans grant delay ou long seiour
Que chascun se treve a son iour
Pour la danser. Quant et le lieu
Il sera le vouloir de dieu
Pense bien chascun a son fait
E fin sil a aucun mal fait
Le congnoisse par y penser
Devant que de venir danser

Cry de la Mort

Cry of death, cry of death
To to to that everyone knows
Hand in hand we come to the dance
Macabre. It is fitting to dance it
All and many do not remember
That when it will be, it will be necessary to come
It will be too late to remember it
Come men women children
Young and old small and large

Cry of death, cry of death
To to to that everyone knows
Hand in hand we come to the dance
Macabre. It is fitting to dance it
All and many do not remember
Come the feeble, the weak and the strong
Make efforts to dance it well
Not one alone would escape
For a thousand crowns if he gave them

And for so much this commandment
I make to all of you that briefly
Without great delay or long delay
That each one find himself on his day
To dance it. Both the time and the place
It will be the will of God
Let everyone think carefully about his deed
And finally if he has done any wrong
Let him acknowledge it by thinking about it
Before coming to dance
