Give back my heart
that you have robbed
Without sorrow and pain,
clean as tobacco it was
Take back the heart of yours
It was full of insincerity
Alone and by myself
is how I want to live now
Give me back the peace
Give me my poor soul
from the sweet time
when I lived well
Do what you want with the peace
I never saw the soul
Alone and by myself
is how I want to live, still
Give me back by wealth
and my moneybag
Maybe I will forgive
the heavy libel games
Poor, evil and sorrow and need
was my life and will be your death
Alone and by myself
I eat my bread
Give me back my youth
that you have pillaged
Sitting here and crying
in the days of old age
Youth, you never gave me
Ask yourself where it went
Alone and by yourself,
you go into your grave
