You go searching here, you go searching there

but when death will harvest you

what will it be of your longings?

Vanity's vanity

If you are happy of your pleasures

enjoying only silver and gold

what will be left for you in the end?

Vanity's vanity

You go searching here, you go searching there

always following happiness

I'll be happy and with no worries

Vanity's vanity

[Refrain]

If you look now in the mirror

at your serene face

you can't possibly imagine

what will be one day of your vanity

All vanity, only vanity

live with joy and simplicity

be good, if you can

everything else is vanity

All vanity, only vanity

praise the Lord with humility

give all your love to him

you will never lack anything anymore
