“Wenn ich das Bier könnt meiden ging ich in Sammt und Seiden,
da ich’s aber nicht meiden kann hab ich zerriss’ne Kleider an.”
(If I could avoid beer I would be dressed in velvet and silk,
but since I cannot avoid it I am wearing torn clothes.)
Landsknechte were feudal serfs used for military purposes by their masters. These “soldiers” were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.
