Difficult it is to live alone in this world,
When hearts meet hearts, fairs are made.

What one loses, one loses through deeds,
You weep for fate, while the sun shines through a sieve.
Weep for fate, weep for fate.
The cart of life, it runs on effort,
With effort, the world changes fate.
Changes fate, changes fate.
By one's own labor, all is achieved,
By one's own labor, all is achieved.

In the fair one's feet, the anklets chime.
Anklets chime, anklets chime.
This spectacle, it's all of love,
This spectacle, it's all of love.
