Reconciliation with destiny
Is my elixir of life
Sealed for ever is my fate
Listing is my vessel of hope
The tide of time
Catapults me into flame
Of fame and glory
Its ebb will extinguish the fire
The air is filled with fragrance
Of pine and cherry
The spring is also nigh
The negritude of winter
Will melt and disappear
In summer let the garden
Of life, bloom and sprout
Your unchiseled charm and splendour
Consigned and buried
Under heap and mound
In your warm bed of memory
Let me live eternally, peacefully
Only, if inevitable, wake me up
By lighting a candle of love
On the day thou knowest best
In the eight month of the year
You are'nt mine
Was the only chime
That would rent the air
Draining me into abyss of darkness
But stare today into the glow
Of the candle, thou lightest
Thy shall find me smiling
For thou are mine
You always were, you will always be
Reconciliation with destiny
Is my elixir of life

You always were, you will always be
