1. Dig me a grave when I die in the land
Far from the din of voices

2. And write on a tablet by my head
After burying me in my pit, when I pass away

3. O stranger! He lived as long as he lived alone
With no wife or daughters

4. And so I was buried in the earth, myself
Alone among the graves of the dead

5. May God be with you as a merciful guardian
Forgiving sins and misdeeds
