O, you dear Augustin,
Augustin, Augustin,
O, you dear Augustin,
All is lost!

All is lost, Augustin!
O, you dear Augustin,
All is lost!

2. Coat is gone, staff is gone,
Augustin lies in the dirt.
O, you dear Augustin,
All is lost!

Broke is like Augustin;
Shed tears with thoughts akin,
All is lost!

Now we just have the plague!
Just a great corpse's feast,
That is the rest.

Lay down in your grave!
O, you dear Augustin,
All is lost!
