| want to die before you | B |
| Do you think that who passes later | C |
| will find who's gone before | D |
| I don't think so | E |
| You'd better have me burned | F |
| and put me on the stove in your room | G |
| in a jar | H |
| The jar shall be made of glass | I |
| transparent white glass | I |
| so that you can see me inside | J |
| You see my sacrifice | K |
| I renounced from being part of the earth | L |
| I renounced from being a flower | C |
| to be able to stay with you | B |
| And I am becoming dust | M |
| to live with you | B |
| Later when you also die | A |
| you'll come to my jar | H |
| And we'll live there together | C |
| your ash in my ash | N |
| until a careless bride | J |
| or an unfaithful grandson | O |
| throws us out of there | P |
| But we | Q |
| until that time | R |
| will mix | S |
| with each other | C |
| so much that | T |

| We will dive into the soil together | C |
| And one day if a wild flower | C |
| feeds from this piece of soil and blossoms | U |
| above its body definitely | Q |
| there will be two flowers | V |
| one is you | B |
| one is me | Q |
| I | A |

| I will give birth to a child | X |
| Life is flooding from me | Q |
| My blood is boiling | Y |
| I will live but long very long | Z |
| but with you | B |
| Death doesn't scare me either | C |
| But I find our way of funeral | A2 |
| rather unlikable | A2 |
| Until I die | A |
| I think this will get better | C |
| Is there a hope you'll get out of prison these days | B2 |
| A voice in me says | C2 |
| maybe | Q |
