My heart is heavy
My hair is turning gray
I am broken, lonely and sad
For the mother of my children
The woman I loved, my wife
Lies buried in the graveyard at Eye
        
No one could ever understand
The extent of my grief and pain
My children have been left motherless
No morning or night passes
Without my lamenting her
Without embarrassment, I have shed tears for her
        
The wing which was warm
Is buried in the coffin-boards
And your death was like the end of our world
For the home which was warm
And full of love has been plundered
nd the walls have been destroyed

I will never forget
The moment of your death
Your children nursed you in your suffering
When I closed your eyes
our face was so beautiful
Like a dew-decked May rose
        
I am certain, my love
That you are in Paradise above
All you suffered is now behind you
Until I close my eyes
In eternal slumber
I will miss you, and praise you
