This ornament of the world I do not want to lose
I see all things burning
I hear people shouting
Now the light of the world and the stars is put out
Now is exposed the accusation of man's evil
With sadness and tears heavy is the grief
From the lands and the seas great is the noise
O caritas, o caritas, may we always have love
We who are about to die salute death
Only life reappears
Ah, this world is burning fast
Oh, the world will never last
I don't want to lost it here in my time
Give me time forever here in my time.
