Four lit candles
stand watch for a coffin
and in it is found lying
the corpse of my love
Oh, what a cold wake,
what pain and loneliness
There's only the four candles
also in mourning attire
just like my heart
Like a shadow you'll wander
And it shall be your curse
That no one can ever love you
As much as I did
And you'll have to answer
before the court of God
There's no escaping with murder,
and you've killed my love
Across the mountain,
I carry my coffin
And I'll water with my weeping
A tomb and a cross
Oh, what a cold procession,
what pain and loneliness
There's only the four candles
also in mourning attire
crying within my heart
Like a shadow you'll wander
and it shall be your curse
that no one can ever love you
as much as I did
And you'll have to answer
before the court of God
There's no escaping with murder,
and you've killed my love.
There's no escaping with murder,
and you've killed my love.
