I Won"t Pass Away
What would take place had my life ended.
And my heart beat stopped. With my soul flying. Throughout the sky as an eagle.
Do you think life would keep up noisy. And –as I used to knowwith its system perfectly running.
Or a disaster would hit the globeAnd take it away for a while?! Nothing, but it will be full.
Of pleasures and all forms of temptation. Many will go on playing. Awaiting the emergence of dawn.
Loudly repeating the melody.
Telling the flowers about the morning. And a true brother of mine.
Keep remembering me
Maintaining our old friendship. I know what will be said tomorrow.
And I will ridicule it from within my grave.
They will say –when I diepassed away
Made the (president) contented, and bestowed his life! The source of this translation may be found at.
