medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
What about the very similar german (folk) song 'zu Frankfurt am Main' ? Like
'sur le pont' it's on a brige (made of stone), that forces everyone to
dance, who wants to cross it. Many years ago, I remember that I learned
about the german version at school that it would be an allegorical
expression for death/dying of every creature and the freedom to leave
everything behind, when you go. But I have no sources, dating or literature.
Best greetings !
Yours Vera
