Original text and translations

German text Was hilfft den reichen gelt und gut/   und grosser pracht auff erden/   ob er die Welt gleich gwinnen thut/   muß er doch Aschen werden/   und fahrn dahin/   Gott weiß wohin,   der todt ist dann sein letzter gwin.

English translation What helps riches, money and goods/    and great splendor on earth/    though you win the whole world/    you will become ashes    and will depart/    God knows where/    death is then your final gain.
