Let the day perish on which I was born

Let the day be dark no light shine upon

Let gloom and deep darkness claim it

Let the blackness terrify it

Why did I not die at the day of my birth?

That day - Let thick darkness seize it

Let those curse it who curse the day

Let the stars of its dawn be dark

Let it hope for light but have none

Behold - Let that night be barren

For my sighing comes instead of my bread

My groanings are poured out like water

For the thing that I fear comes upon me and what I dread befalls me

I am not at ease nor am I quiet

I have no rest but trouble comes
