Three Wanderers

Three wanderers were out
And when the evening fell
Then they felt like
A happy game of cards
 
The youngest said: "Please
Tell me, is it for money? "
The third gave the answer
"We play for the world"
The third gave the answer
"We play for the world"
 
The youngest free from grief
And fresh like a May day
He threw the queen of hearts,
Laughing brightly, on the table
 
That shouldn't make you grieve
I had the best piece
Nobody shall take that away from me
Hurra, I'm Luck
Nobody shall take that away from me
Hurra, I'm Luck
 
The second, with the pale
Furrowed face
Said, "Brother, skip your boasting
I'm not afraid of this card
 
What does your tears concern me
And what your red heart?
I sting with the ten of clubs
Give space, I am The Pain
I sting with the ten of clubs
Give space, I am Pain"
 
The third, dull tones
Had he secretly just laughed,
Then spoke in bitter mockery
"What fun you make,
I release the world from suffering
Happiness and pain and need
I'll get both of you
Take that, I'm Death
I'll get both of you
Take that, I'm Death"
 
Three wanderers were out
And when the evening fell
Then they felt like
A happy game of cards
Then they felt like
A happy game of cards
