2. Jankele, my son, have God in your heart
3. you are the oldest of the four children
4. I see you with all the others and meanwhile this allays my pain
5. Many years ago you sent pictures
6 And wrote me in addition, that you were delighted
7. Somewhere there, far away in the golden country
8. And then, children, I haven't heard from you anymore
9. I look at the pictures and my eyes drop tears
10. Paper children, I have on the wall
11. When I lay down to sleep and when I wake up
12. I look at the pictures and speak to me
13. Paper children I have on the wall
14. Paper children - and I break my hand
15. Paper turns out of my flesh and blood
16. I complain, cry and scream and my shouting is in vain
17. The paper pieces, what they do feel
18. Paper children I have on the wall
19. Can you remember, when you have left me
20. Your good father has been dead for a long time already
21. Much effort, much health it costs me
22. I washed strange washings, provided you with bread
23. Now your mama is already old, weak and gray
24. The power of those days is no longer with me
25. It is sad to be alone and my heart longs for you
26. All of you did forget your Mom
27. I pray now to God, he should forgive you
28. One thing however, children, you should remember
