Farewell!

Farewell! I think that, in this life,

I shall never see you again.

God passes by, he calls you and forgets me;

In losing you, I perceive that I loved you.

No tears, no vain complaint.

I must accept the future.

Come the sail to take you away,

Smiles will see you depart.

You leave full of hope,

With pride you will return;

But you will not acknowledge again

Those who suffer your absence.

Farewell! You will live a beautiful dream

And be elated by a dangerous pleasure;

The star that rises over your path

Will dazzle your eyes for a time.

One day, you may feel endowed

With the prize of a heart that in us discerns

The good that one finds in a companion

And the suffering that one feels in his loss.
