(Everyone)        The whole work holds its breath again
                  The marriage ring it shines
                  The billionth trillionth walk begins
                  As another world sighs

                  Sights and best of wishes and
                  A silence you can hear
                  The vow that breaks the world are spoke
                  And the whole world sheds a tear

(Beggar)          Out of the joy of your marriage feast
                  O brother be good to me
                  The way is long and the shrine is far
                  Where my weary feet would be
                  And feasting is always somewhat sad
                  To those outside the door
                  Still love is only a dream
                  And life itself is hardly more

(Everyone)        The human company draws close
                  And lends an ear
                  The vows that break the world are spoke
                  As the whole world sheds a tear

                  The vows that break the world
                  And the whole world sheds a tear
