lyrics

4. I lead a tearful life

I lead a tearful life
For my whole life on this whole earth *
The bliss of Paradise I forget
Which has all the beauty *
But with my evil temper
I imitate vanity *
Death, with a scythe on his back
Walks, and does not sleep *
Walks, and oversees
Whose head to take off *
Death takes them from the poor
And does not spare the rich *
Whoever lives righteously in this world
Will live to an old age *
But those living in depravity
Will soon flow into the earth *

* Repeat twice
