As A Memory
May
every moment be for you
Like
the golden butterflies
Flow
among aromas and roses
And
the shadows and thorns[1]
That
you find along the way
May
[your] guardian angel remove for you
I would like[2]
to fly far, far
[To] where the weeping silver roses
flow from the banks
When the rustling[3]
feathers overwhelm the trees
Where are you, happiness[4]?
In dreams!
I
would like[5]
to fly far, far
[To]
where I fantasize like [when] they tell a wild tale
Where
are you, happiness[6]?
In longing!
I would like[7]
to fly and never return again
The heart beats so hotly[8]
only once
And then, silence, everything sleeps
Where are you, happiness[9]?
In the grave!
