Lyrics & English Translation
Traitors! With the English you unite against me!
Yet those who predict the future have prophesied:
"Be bloody, bold and resolute,
For none of woman born shall harm you."
No, I don't fear you
Nor the boy who leads you!
This attack will confirm me on my throne
Or overthrow me forever!
And yet ... within my veins
I can feel my lifeblood drying up.
Honour, respect and love,
The comforts of one's declining years,
Will not offer any flowers
For me in my old age.
Nor even at my royal tomb
Might I hope for some kind words.
Only bitter curses, alas!
My requiem shall be.
