In Meeres Mitte - English translation

offering golden ribbons and silk thread.


In the middle of the sea there is a ball of gold
and a Turk and a Christian are arguing about it. Who in the end will receive this exquisite treasure as his reward?


In the middle of the sea there is a raised altar, all the women come with a rosary;
oh pray for me, boy Jesus.
