Når kommer jeg så langt i visdom at jeg slutter å si visdomsord? --- When do I come so far in wisdom that I stop saying words of wisdom? --- Wann komme ich so weit in Weisheit, dass ich aufhöre, Worte der Weisheit zu sagen? --- ¿Cuándo llego tan lejos en sabiduría que dejo de decir palabras de sabiduría? --- Quand est-ce que je viens si loin dans la sagesse que j'arrête de dire des paroles de sagesse?

What I write's not mine, not mine...
Whom do I owe it to?
Whose herald was I born to be?
How was I fooled
   Into thinking that I had was mine?
Who gave it to me?
Whatever the case, if my destiny
   Is to be the death
   Of another life that lives in me,
   Then I, who was
   By some illusion this entire
   Ostensible life,
   Am grateful to the One who lifted me
   From the dust I am---
   The One for whom I, this upraised dust,
   Am just a symbol.
Whom do I owe it to?
