PEACE, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.

Let it not be a death but completeness.

Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.

Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.

Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.

Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.

I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.

安静吧，我的心，让别离的时间甜柔吧。

让它不是个死亡，而是圆满。

让爱恋融入记忆，痛苦融入诗歌吧。

让穿越天空的飞翔在巢上敛翼中终止。

让你双手的最后的接触，像夜中的花朵一样温柔。

站住一会儿吧，啊，“美丽的结局”，

用沉默说出最后的话语吧。

我向你鞠躬，举起我的灯来照亮你的归途。
