Aria: Lacht immerhin, ihr Atheisten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FIN
Lacht immerhin, ihr Atheisten,
und spottet nur der frommen Christen,
das Heulen kommt zu rechter Zeit.
Da ihr vor solchen Spott und Frevel
im Feuerpfuhl voll Pech und Schwefel
ein ewig Ach! und Zeter schreit.

Aria: Go ahead and laugh, you atheists
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Go ahead and laugh, you atheists,
And simply mock devout Christians,
Your howling comes at just the right time.
Such mockery and insult will bring from you,
In a fiery lake full of sulfur and brimstone,
A clamorous shriek and eternal Ah!
