Morias Encomium

From Youth and Wealth I was generated

Mistress of your miserable lives

Nourished by weaknesses of the human soul

Infecting our minds

Oh, ah ah,I'm madness

The prosperous seed of evil consciences

Despicable pawns in my hands

Your will has been abolished

No one will be spared

My shadow embraces the whole world

One by one, the power

The warriors, the interpreters of God

The scholars too will bow before me

With all their lies

I'll teach you: It takes a mad man

To make a true wise

Oh man, you aim for wisdom

Tell me why

Tell me about life, without Folly

Such a boring comedy!

The praise of Folly in all our actions

The praise of Folly in the mankind

Share with me this kind of Elegy

Grin and bear it, this is life

Man is such a funny toy

And it is my favorite game ever

Through his hipocrisy he speculates on everything

Wicked and clever

The dark tyranny of the clergy

Theologians and the holy "establishment"

Abusing their power they speak and censure

With a wicked management

With all their sick pride

They think to be Apostle's heirs

But it's only money they want to look after

Their dirty affairs

"Redemption on sale! Redemption on sale!"

In the judgment day

If you want to save yourself

In Church's market you will have to pay

Oh man, you aim for wisdom

Tell me why

Tell me about life, without Folly

Such a boring comedy!

The praise of Folly in all our actions

The praise of Folly in the mankind

Share with me this kind of Elegy

Grin and bear it, this is life

Have you heard? Oh,what a shame

Now, you should forget all my words... It would be dangerous!

Forget, forget, forget... And start again to drink

Start again to clap,start again to laugh!
