1. Life, all that's in it
Is vanities and illusions

2. Fleeting shadows and visions
And pains and dreams

3. Moments and years and days
Pass through it together

4. And here we are tossing
On shrouds, frail and sickly

5. We leave this world
With anguish in our souls

6. Oh, how strange are people
Why did they covet this lowly world
