When will the home's grief cease to haunt, cease to haunt?
When will my heart weep so?
When will the home's grief cease to haunt, weep so?

You've built and shattered countless homes,
O, sky, when will your displays end?
When will the home's grief cease to haunt, weep so?

How cruel the world is to humanity,
When will it make men, men, at last?
When will the home's grief cease to haunt, weep so?

Your memory has made the world a hell, a hell,
You, the divine, when will you hide?
When will the home's grief cease to haunt, weep so?
