Ach, arme Welt, du trügest mich

Available translation(s): CAT DUT DUT ENG FRE
Ach, arme Welt, du trügest mich
Ja, das bekenn ich eigentlich,
Und kann dich doch nicht meiden.
Du falsche Welt, du bist nicht wahr,
Dein Schein vergeht, das weiss ich zwar,
Met Weh und großem Leiden.
Dein Ehr, dein Gut, du armer Welt,
Im Tod, in rechten Nöten fehlt,
Dein Schatz ist eitel falsches Geld,
Dess hielf mir, Herr, zum Frieden.

Ah, pauvre monde
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ah, pauvre monde, tu me déçois,
Oui, je l'avoue effectivement,
Et je ne peux pas t'éviter.
Faux monde, tu n'es pas vrai,
Ton éclat pâlit, je le sais bien,
Avec le malheur et de grandes souffrances.
Ton honneur, ton bien, pauvre monde,
Manquent dans la mort, dans la vraie détresse,
Ton trésor est vain, de la fausse monnaie,
Seigneur, aide-moi à trouver la paix.
