[DEATH TO THE NUN:]
[GERMAN]
Frau nonne, ir dunket euch subtil,
Dester gerner ich mit euch tanzen wil.
Werfet von euch den scapular.
Ir müst hie mit den toten farn.
[ENGLISH]
Mrs Nun,you think yourself subtle;
This dance I will dance with you.
Throw away from you the scapular;
You must fare here with the dead.
[NUN TO DEATH:]
[LATIN]
In claustro grata servivi Christo velata.
Quid valet orare, me mors iubet hic corisare.
[GERMAN]
Ich han in dem kloster mein
Got gedient als ein geweiltes nünlein.
Was hilft mich nun mein beten?
Ich muss des todes reien treten.
[ENGLISH]
I have in my monastery
served God as a veiled nun.
What does my praying avail me now?
I must step into the dead's dance.
