Day of birth you have came,
The weak cries, what a music to her ears!
Now life have you measured even longer,
Mind so open can you expand even broader
Thousand of days, o how even short
The days together, years have brought forth
The elders and the sages, their wisdom, O how deep,
Young, o listen before they fall in sleep
Master, have you given counsel?
The heart is wanting, the mind is rebelious
What can he do?
Light have you departed?
Dark isnt it for the closed doors of understanding
O sorrow have you been to deep and shallow
The dark night without moon and stars reminds me thee
The people who came and go
Places have they got away from you
The heart in longing shall remember thee
Life continues it goes on
Find thy way and walk thy free
Life have been completely defined
Death o rest, who can stop you come
Like the sun rising and setting
like the birds that fly
Life has also place of resting
What hath the wanderer learns
down in his history it is engraved in his heart
