Il testo della Totentanz

Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse!

Oh king, your power has come to an end
I wish to invite you for a dance
Amongst our deceased brothers
For also death has a crown to offer

Noble lady, danse as you please
Until the flute has the right tone
For she deceived many a lady
Who all have danced
The dance of death

Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse!

Oh king, your power has come to an end
I wish to invite you for a dance
Amongst our deceased brothers
For also death has a crown to offer

Noble lady, danse as you please
Oh king, your power has come to an end
I wish to invite you for a dance
Amongst our deceased brothers
For also death has a crown to offer

Noble lady, - hah -danse as you please

Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse danse danse macabre
Danse! totentanz
