(Everyone) The whole work holds its breath again

The marriage ring it shines

The billionth trillionth walk begins

As another world sighs

Sights and best of wishes and

A silence you can hear

The vow that breaks the world are spoke

And the whole world sheds a tear



(Beggar) Out of the joy of your marriage feast

O brother be good to me

The way is long and the shrine is far

Where my weary feet would be

And feasting is always somewhat sad

To those outside the door

Still love is only a dream

And life itself is hardly more



(Everyone) The human company draws close

And lends an ear

The vows that break the world are spoke

As the whole world sheds a tear



The vows that break the world

And the whole world sheds a tear
