Translation:

World, when I am tired of you I want to go toward heaven. There will be the right peace. And the proud souls and world, with you there is war and quarrel, nothing but plenty of pride; in heaven is always peace, rest and blessedness.
Time comes to an end. Nothing but God’s trust, for wherever I turn it is always new. Time passes and I with it; time passes and I with it; only you, my God, are always with me.
