Tanz Über Die Brücke Songtext / Lyric

Text: Trad. Crossing over the main
Is a bridge of stone

Whosever wants to pass
Must twirl around A wagoner appears
He is heavily laden
His horses are three
And they pass by, dancing

And a boy with no shoes
Wearing rags as well
Once he saw the bridge
Oh, how he did dance

Comes a girl all alone
To the bridge of stone

Quickly grasping her skirt
And she dances like the wind

And the king in person
Descends from his throne
Just as he steps on the bridge
He dances a minuet

Dear people come over here
Smash the bridge apart

And they swung the hatchet
While they were dancing

And the people all over the country
Hurried and came running
Keep away from the bridge
Because we are so fond of dancing
