A Bam kann oft blühen Und werd’t [dabei]1 alt, Und a Eisen oft glühen, Und werd’t wieder kalt. Grad i hab’ mei Leben Auf an Oanzigen g’wendt, Und der hat mi g’miden, [Ißt]2 bin i am End. [Ißt]2 bin i wie d’Kerzen Am Seelenaltar, De stathin verbrenna Auf Grabtuch und Baar.

A tree can blossom often And grows old as it does so, And an iron can glow often, And grows cold again. I have only just dedicated my life To [loving] one person, And he has shunned me; Now I am at the end. Now I am like the candles At the funeral altar, That simply burn away Upon shroud and bier.
