Ach, wie elend ist unser Zeit
allhier auf dieser Erde,
gar bald der Mensch darniederleit,
wir müssen alle sterben,
allhier in diesem Jammertal,
auch wenn dir's wohl gelinget.

French.png French translation

Ici-bas, que notre temps
sur la terre est misérable,
car l’homme n’est que néant.
Nous serais-tu favorable,
nous devrons tous mourir
dans cette vallée de larmes.
