1. O wanderer, wait,
It saddens me that you wander in ignorance.

2. Do you see in what you see
Nothing but youth that has passed,

3. And passion that has flown,
And a heart that has consoled itself?

4. Where are the tears that flow in you?
Where is the moaning side?

5. Where is the soul in you that is guided?
And the ribs in you that pray?

6. What angel was there, if not for
A visitor who came and went,

7. And left you with nothing
But endless sorrow that does not leave,

8. And beauty has faded - if only
The most beautiful remained beautiful?
