My friend, oh, my friend

When I die

for me do not cry

for I will have loved

all that I could have.

My friend, oh my friend

When I die

do not cry for me

for I will have lived

all that I had to live

I will have given

all that I could give

My friend, oh, my friend

When I am gone

from this suffering old world

do not think

that I lie in the cold

do not cry for me

for I in a better place

I will surely be

My friend, my dear friend

do not ever cry for me

for I will have lived

quite intensely

I have never given myself

if not entirely

to anything and everything

that in life I could find

My friend, oh, my friend

but such an intense person

like me

gets tired easily

so life goes out

of her soul

s

l

ow

ly...

and

pain

fully.

However

do not cry

do not cry

promise me

that you will not

cry for me.
