camille saint-saëns - dance macabre lyrics

zig, zig, zig, death in cadence
striking a tomb with his heel
death at midnight plays a dance-tune
zig, zig, zag, on his violin
the winter wind blows, and the night is dark;
moans are heard in the linden trees
white skeletons p-ss through the gloom
running and leaping in their shrouds
zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking
you can hear the cracking of the bones of the dancers
a l-stful couple sits on the moss
so as to taste long lost delights
zig zig, zig, death contines
the unending scr-ping on his instrument
a veil has fallen! the dancer is naked
her partner grasps her amorously
the lady, it’s said, is a marchioness or baroness
and her green gallant, a poor cartwright
horror! look how she gives herself to him
like the rustic was a baron
zig, zig, zig. what a saraband!
they all hold hands and dance in circles
zig, zig, zag. you can see in the crowd
the king dancing among the peasants
but hist! all of a sudden, they leave the dance
they push forward, they fly; the c*** has crowed
oh what a beautiful night for the poor world!
long live death and equality!
