1. O night that passed in my life and went away
If only you would return and my loved ones come back

2. I wish your farewell when nothing lasts forever
Left no memories in my heart anymore

3. I can't forget her last gift, her cloak
And the sickness it left on my body under it

4. Joseph's shirt returned the seeing eye
So the blinded one succeeded with light

5. And you, if a soul readied for travel
You bid it farewell while death was at the door

6. So ward off today death's specter from a man
Whose soul was gripped by the claws of death

7. And if you can't, then in death be my shroud
I die and meet my God without fear
