Causa Ludi - Corvus Corax, Ingeborg Schöpf, Klaus Lothar Peters

Causa ludi

Sepe nudi

Sunt mei consortes

Dum sic prestem

Super vestem

Meam mittunt sortes

Heu, pro ludo

Sepe nudo

Dat vestire saccus!

Sed tum penas

Mortis venas

Dat nescire Baccus

The reason for the game

Often naked

They're my mates

While so prestem

Super clothes

My lots

Hey, for the game

Often naked

He gives me a sackcloth to wear!

But then the pains

Death's blood vessels

Baccus does not know
