Life, dear life
When will I have had enough of you ?
When the bread is completely stale
And the glass is empty
Then I will have had enough
When the time will come
Life, dear life
They will burry me
And I won’t be on this earth anymore
Life, dear life
Life is so fleeting
Someone is born, another dies
Life, dear life
The one who is born suffers
And then dies
Life, dear life
