Sanningen med livet er doden

Ljuga allt annat for dig kan

Och I den djupaste noden

Du livsgnistan aldrig mer fann



Ensam jag slutet kommer att mota

Sisom jag ensam hittills varit

Livet pi mitt hjerta skall nota



[Translation:]



The truth in life is death

Everything else for you can lie

And in the deepest distress

The sparkle of life you never found again



The end I will face alone

Like I alone have been until now

Life on my heart shall wear

Until I have traveled enough on the sea of life
