Contexts with "galgen"

Ihr sagt, es ist euer Brauch, Witwen zu verbrennen. Also gut. Wir haben auch einen Brauch: Wenn Männer eine Frau lebend verbrennen, binden wir ein Seil um ihre Hälse und hängen sie. Baut euren Scheiterhaufen; daneben werden meine Zimmermänner einen Galgen bauen. Ihr dürft eurem Brauch folgen. Und dann folgen wir unserem. You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.

Die Kapitalisten werden uns noch die Galgen verkaufen, mit denen wir uns erhängen. The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.
