Translation of the song lyrics Gallowdance - Lebanon Hanover

Gallowdance (original)

Dance with me the gallowdance
As long as we're not hanging
As long as we still can my love.
We both know the string is always ready

Dance with me the gallowdance
For all the degradation in this land
Dance with me the gallowdance
As disorientated as you can

Tanz mit mir den Galgentanz
Solange wir noch nicht hängen
Tanz mit mir den Galgentanz
Solange wir noch können

Der Baum steht schon lange da mein Schatz
Er wartet nur darauf das wir uns trennen
Der Baum steht schon da mein Schatz
Ein wunderschöner Baum um sich zu erhängen

Gallowdance (translation)

Join me, love, in the gallows' ballet,
While our feet still shun the hungry noose,
While breath and sorrow grant us time, my dear.
We’ve both seen the rope glimmer, ceaseless, taut—

Come, whirl with me the gallows' dance anew,
For all the world's disgrace that taints this soil,
Let us spin the gallows' waltz beneath dead stars,
Lose yourself, as a leaf in storm-borne whirls,

Join me, beloved, in the gallows' round,
While still we elude the shadow’s snare,
Come, dance with me this gallows' spell,
While yet we taste the wind’s lament,

The tree stands ancient, patient—my sweet heart—
Awaiting the hour our fates unlace,
Already, the tree keeps watch, my dearest one,
A graceful tree—woven for a final embrace.
