Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) , "Ach, arme Welt", op. 110 no. 2 [motet], from Drei Motetten, no. 2.

Ach, arme Welt, du trügest mich
Ja, das bekenn ich eigentlich,
Und kann dich doch nicht meiden.

Du falsche Welt, du bist nicht wahr,
Dein Schein vergeht, das weiss ich zwar,
Met Weh und großem Leiden.

Dein Ehr, dein Gut, du armer Welt,
Im Tod, in rechten Nöten fehlt,
Dein Schatz ist eitel falsches Geld,
Dess hielf mir, Herr, zum Frieden.

Ah, poor world, you deceive me -
yes, in fact I confess it -
and I cannot yet avoid you.

You false world, you are not real.
Your glint fades, I know it indeed,
with woe and great suffering.

Your honour and your goodness, you poor world,
fail in death and times of true need;
your treasure is vain, false money...
Help me, Lord, to come to peace with this.
