In Extremo: Melancholie
Lyrics by Eustache Deschamps (1345-1404)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Intro = 1 Verse
Oh elendes und gar schmerzvolles Leben
Krieg haben wir
Sterben und Hungersnot
Kälte, Hitze höhlt uns aus
Bei Tag und Nacht
Flöhe, Milben, Ratten
Zerren an unseren Leibern
Deren Leben gar kurz ist
Verse 1:
DmTemps de dolCeur et de tDmemptaciAmonC  
DmAages de plCour, d'envie Dmet dCe tourDmment
DmTemps de langCour et de dDmampnacAmionC  
DmAages meneCur pres du DmdefCinDmement
Chorus:
DmToute lèesse deffaut
Tous cueurs oFnt prGins Dmpas aussaut
Tristesse et merCencoDmlie
Interlude = Chorus
Verse 2*:
DmAages mentCeur, plain d'orguDmeil et d'envAmieC  
DmTemps sanz honCeur et sanz vDmray jCugeDmment
DmAage en trCistour qui abDmrege la vAmieC  
DmAage en trCistour qui abDmregCe la vDmie
Chorus (2 times):
DmToute lèesse deffaut
Tous cueurs oFnt prGins Dmpas aussaut
Tristesse et merCencoDmlie
Outro = Chorus
----------------------------------------------------------------

Temps sanz honeur et sanz vray jugement
Aage en tristour qui abrege la vie
