I, in this life, have lost, lost, lost,
I, in this life, have lost, lost, lost.
My clock strikes five,
The enemy's, quarter to twelve.
In this life, I have lost, lost, lost.

Fate's chessboard, laid out,
Four players sit, yes, yes.
Fate's chessboard, laid out,
Four players sit.
Two on this side, two on that,
Four, without beginning.
Oh, two on this side, two on that,
Four, without beginning.
Hey Babu, hey, hey, hey Babu,
If I don't check with courage's king,
The game will never end, ha, ha, ha,
Will never end.
I, in this life, have lost, lost, lost.
Oh, my clock strikes five,
The enemy's, quarter to twelve.
Ah, ha, oh, in this life,
I have lost, lost, lost.

Neither let me laugh, nor weep,
Nor let me laugh, nor weep,
Such is this wretched age,
Such is this wretched age.
Neither let me laugh, nor weep,
If I weep, they laugh, if I laugh,
They swiftly send me to my grave.
Neither let me laugh, nor weep,
Nor let me laugh, nor weep.
Hey Babu, hey, hey, hey Babu.

Today is a day of joy,
All sing together, beloved.
Sing, sing, beloved.
I, in this life, have lost, lost, lost.
My clock strikes five,
The enemy's, quarter to twelve.
In this life, I have lost, lost, lost.
