I have enjoyed a good life
I even had my bungalow
Comforter, food
Clean clothes
But life came and took it from me
I was freed
By the hand of the Emperor
I had land, plow
Horse and bridle
But life came and took it from me
Today is visit day
Here comes my love
She comes with her earrings
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers
Whoever sees me, doesn’t even see a part of me
As someone once saw when confronted me
The World Champion arm wrestler
But life came and took it from me
I read newspaper, leaflet and preface
Which I learned without a teacher
I used to go to palaces quite often
And I did it well
But life came and took it from me
Today is visit day
Here comes my love
She comes with her earrings
She comes every Sunday
She smells like flowers
I had eighteen daughters
I became a sailor
Vice-regent of
Caribbean Islands
But life came and took it from me
I made a perfect deal
I explored the countryside
I owned a silver mine,
A mineral deposit
But life came and took it from me
Today is visit day
Here comes my love
Today they didn’t serve the lunch, right?
And I suppose that the guy didn’t even
bathe me
I think I was a congressman
I think it's all over
Almost
I don’t remember anything
Life came and took it from me
