Lume, lume [English translation]

World, world, sister world

World, world, sister world

When will I have enough of you

When will I have enough of you

When I give up bread for Lent

And the glass will give up on me

Maybe then I'll have enough of you

Maybe then I'll have enough of you

When they hammer the nails on my coffin

When they hammer the nails on my coffin

World, sister world

When they put me in my grave

And I won't be on earth anymore

World, sister world

That's how the world is, transient

'Cause that's how the world is, transient

One is born, another dies

One is born, another dies

World, sister world

The born one suffers

The dead one rots

'Cause that's how the world is, transient

One is born, another dies

World, sister world

The born one suffers

The dead one rots

World, sister world
