1. I regret what I have amassed, I wonder
Who after me will be made happy by it

2. I watch with regret my family and wealth
When the soul has passed beyond the veins

3. I prepare provisions of piety, for I
Have seen that death is a far journey

4. My friend disassociated himself from me in the grave
And the soil was heaped upon my shoulders

5. He bade me farewell and it pained him that I
Entrusted him with a farewell not to return

6. So if after ten years you were to see me
You would find my beauty has turned to worms

7. Alone and single, O Lord, forgive
Your servant when you leave him alone
