Cry De La Mort - Estampie

Cry de la mort, cry de la mort

To to to que chascun savance

Main a main venir a la dance

Macabre.

Danser la convient

Tous et a plusieurs nen souvient

Que qant sera, sera force de venir

Bien tart sera sen souvenir

Venez hommes femmes enfans

Jeunes et vieulz petis et grans

Cry de la mort, cry de la mort

To to to que chascun savance

Main a main venir a la dance

Macabre.

Danser la convient

Tous et a plusieurs nen souvient

Venez les vaibles, les faibles et les fors

De bien y danser faire effors

Ung tout seul nen eschapperoit

Pour mille escus si les donnoit

Et pour tant ce commandement

Faiz a tous vous que brevement

Sans grant delay ou long seiour

Que chascun se treve a son iour

Pour la danser.

Quant et le lieu

Il sera le vouloir de dieu

Pense bien chascun a son fait

E fin sil a aucun mal fait

Le congnoisse par y penser

Devant que de venir danser

Cry of death, cry of death

To to to that everyone advances

Hand to hand come to the dance

Macabre.

Dancing it suits

All and many don't remember

How much will be, will be force to come

Very soon it will be remembered

Come men women children

Young and old small and big

Cry of death, cry of death

To to to that everyone advances

Hand to hand come to the dance

Macabre.

Dancing it suits

All and many don't remember

Come the weak, the weak and the strong

To dance well make efforts

Ung all alone nen eschapperoit

For a thousand escus if gave them

And for so much this commandment

Faiz to all of you briefly

Without grant delay or long seiour

Let everyone stop on their day

To dance it.

When and where

It will be the will of god

Think well everyone has his done

Well if he's done no wrong

Know it by thinking about it

Before that to come and dance
