Should this life sometime deceive you...Should this life sometime deceive you,Don't be sad or mad at it!On a gloomy day, submit:Trust - fair day will come, why grieve you? Heart lives in the future, soWhat if gloom pervade the present?All is fleeting, all will go;What is gone will then be pleasant.Translated by Genia GurarieIf by life you were deceived...
If by life you were deceived,Don't be dismal, don't be wild!In the day of grief, be mildMerry days will come, believe. Heart is living in tomorrow;Present is dejected here;In a moment, passes sorrow;That which passes will be dear.Translated by M.Kneller
