ON THE MARKET
(A day at the medieval fair)
Come to the market, there's a lot to see,
it's only once a year, hurry up, let's go.
There is walking and trading, drinking and feasting,
there is partying and dancing, completely uninhibited.
Everyone flocks here, you could miss something,
jams at the gates, crowds in the alleys.
The hostels can hardly house all the crowds,
those who arrive late have to lay down in the open air.
The sales tables are bending under the goods.
Bright colours and scents that could never be smelled here.
Amber from the North, spices from the Orient.
Wines from the South, everything that is hardly known here.
Come to the market, there's a lot to see,
it's only once a year, hurry up, let's go.
There is walking and trading, drinking and feasting,
there is partying and dancing, completely uninhibited.
Young ladies are walking the latest fashions here,
while vain dandies are proudly strolling in pointy shoes.
There is mockery and tittle-tattle and there is gossip,
the handsome juggler is being applauded by cheeky maidens.
A mobile baker is selling pies.
A travelling singer along with self-painted pictures
can tell unbelievable stories from the Orient.
The innkeeper is taking care of all the thirsty throats.
The travelling theatre is performing an edifying farce.
The priest, however, already had one beer too many,
and while he is staring unabashedly at the tavern girl,
he's falling into the mud as he's loosing his balance.
Look where people are suddenly turning to.
Is there a public execution to see?
Or does a poor wretch have a rotten tooth pulled out?
Oh dear, there are so many highlights that are worth visiting.
Come to the market, there's a lot to see
it's only once a year, hurry up, let's go.
There is walking and flirting, drinking and feasting,
there is partying and dancing, completely uninhibited.
The wild festival is now reaching its climax,
as minstrels in colourful dresses are entering the podium.
Drums are beating loudly, the pipes are sounding shrilly,
such a sound inferno, that's what the crowd wants.
Beer is flowing in torrents now, twilight is falling,
the dances are getting wilder there in the bright firelight.
While young lovers are teasing in dark corners,
even the mayor's wife is daring a little dance.
Come to the market, there's a lot to see
it's only once a year, we don't want to miss it.
There is walking and flirting, drinking and feasting,
there is partying and dancing, completely uninhibited.
