O death, o death, o death
          Won't you spare me over til' another year
          But what is this, that I can't see
          With ice cold hands taking hold of me
          
          When God is gone and the devil takes hold
          Who will have mercy on my soul?
          O death, o death
          Consider my age, please don't take me at this stage
          O death, o death
          Won't you spare me over til' another year
          O I am death and non can tell
          If I open the door to heaven or hell
          
          No wealth, no land, no silver, nor gold
          Nothing satisfies me but your soul
          I'm death I come to take the soul
          Leave the body and leave it cold
          O death, o death
          Won't you spare me over til' another year
