Rumor has it that an evil dragon
Rumor has it that verdigrised in a bush
appeared at Bayreuth, city of Bayreuth,
there had appeared naughtily a dragon.
Only an emperor
can save you at all,
poor people,
from the dragon
His greatness in new hauberk of steel,
came riding his white horse
hitting the dragon, hitting it with his sword
crushing it, that emperor riding....
Only an emperor
can save you at all,
poor people,
from the dragon
Rumor has it that him, holy emperor in hauberk,
Rumor has it that they came on his way with lilac
flowers of cure, now and in a century
white lilac for his highness.
Only an emperor
could save you at all,
poor people,
from the dragon
