Koenig von Thule(original) |
Es war ein König in Thule |
Gar treu bis an sein Grab |
Dem sterbend seine Buhle |
Einen goldnen Becher gab |
Es ging ihm nichts darüber |
Er leert ihn jeden Schmaus; |
Die Augen gingen ihm rüber |
So oft er trank daraus |
Und als er kam zu sterben |
Zählt er seine Städt im Reich |
Gönnt alles seinen Erben |
Den Becher nicht zugleich |
Er saß beim Königsmahle |
Die Ritter um ihn her |
Im hohem Vätersaale |
Dort auf dem Schloß am Meer |
Dort stand der alte Zecher |
Trank letzte Lebensglut |
Und warf den heil’gen Becher |
Hinunter in die Flut |
Er sah ihn stürzen, trinken |
Und sinken in das Meer |
Die Augen täten ihm sinken |
Trank nie einen Tropfen mehr |
(translation) |
There was a king in Thule |
Faithful to his grave |
His lover dying |
Gave a golden cup |
He didn't care about that |
He drains every feast; |
His eyes rolled over |
As often as he drank from it |
And when he came to die |
Does he count his cities in the kingdom |
Grant everything to his heirs |
Not the cup at the same time |
He sat at the royal banquet |
The knights around him |
In the high father's hall |
There at the castle by the sea |
There stood the old reveler |
Drank the last embers of life |
And threw the holy cup |
Down in the tide |
He saw him fall, drinking |
And sink into the sea |
His eyes would droop |
Never drank another drop |
