1. The times have changed and hopes are lost,
Grey hair covers the head that youth had crossed,

2. My singing thrilled the living, maybe you,
But to you now it’s just an annoying call.

3. What was unlawful becomes lawful to you,
What was lawful may now be against the law.

4. If the flirts see you bent down with age
They turn away the union you once had.

5. And if their uncle calls you it’s but to gain
A genealogy that builds castles in Spain.
