Story behind the song
Translation of the poem into English follows:
Lyrics
I am bound to a life of suffering; Grief and sadness bar my path; The wound of a suffering heart always Separates me from joyful happiness. My life is bound to the fate of suffering; My fallen fate is detrimental. I have suffered much of everything in life, Tormented by burning grief. Joy and happiness are in the clouded distance But I reach only breaths and tears, Sudden storms arrive, and the rumble of thunder Destroy magical, sweet daydreams I have come to understand the illusion of life, And do not complain on my ill fate. The soul does not perish from sadness and wounds, There is no one to help the suffering, or the burning.
