"As long as we live, let us not forget that all must die. Oh poor human, can't you see you're chasing after the wind? We are after gold and honor. What happens to the soul? When we are dead no gold or honor will comfort us. Oh poor human, you are only chasing after the wind,"

lyrics

Niin kauan kuin me elämme, suo herra että muistamme: myös meitä kuolo kohtaa. Kaikilla on se edessä, vaikkemme tiedä hetkeä, tie kaikein hautaan johtaa. Oi, ihminen, oi ihminen, vain tuulta tavoittelet.

Terveenä täällä ollessaan ei moni muista kuoloaan, huolehdi sielustansa. Hän maailmaa vain rakastaa, sen riistaa, kultaa, kunniaa. Näin etsii onneansa. Oi, ihminen, oi ihminen sun kuinka sielus' käypi?

Kun ruumis hautaan heitetään, ja multaan mustaan peitetään, sun saalis katoaapi. Ei mitään täältä mukaan saa, ei mainetta ei mammonaa. Sun kaikki unhottaapi. Oi, ihminen, oi ihminen, vain tuulta tavoittelet.
