Men-in-wolves'-shoes

And now for something completely different.
A microtonal Neo-Renaissance chanson.

All pitches are related as combination tones. Music Theory dorks may read more in my dissertation...

lyrics

<Original French>
L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé, L'homme armé doibt on doubter.
On a fait par tout crier Que chascun se viegne armer, d'un haubregon de fer.
L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé, L'homme armé doibt on doubter.

<English>
The man, the man, the armed man, The armed man must be feared.
Everywhere it has been proclaimed That each man should arm himself with a hauberk of iron.
The man, the man, the armed man, The armed man must be feared.
