Da Jakob nu das Kleid ansach
mit grossem Schmerzen er da sprach:
O weh der grossen Not,
mein lieber Sohn der ist tot!
Die wilden Tier han ihn zerrissen
und mit den Zähnen zerbissen.
O Joseph, mein lieber Sohn,
wer will mich Alten trösten nun?
Denn ich vor Leid muss sterben
und traurig fahren von dieser Erden.

When Jacob saw the cloak
he said, in deep distress:
Alas, has ever man known greater misery?
My beloved son is dead!
The wild animals have torn him limb from limb
and devoured him.
Oh Joseph, my dear son,
who will now comfort me in my old age?
For I must die of sorrow
and leave this earth broken-hearted.
