Which one of you will remember her name?
Will your minds recall by the fireside?
Will you press her softly against your lips?
Leave your secrets buried in the soil.
Let your glowing embers forever burn
Learn the lesson conjured by the old men.
Truthfully, nobody will get it right.
Yet tell yourself, "still now we have to try."
We bid farewell to you.

Which one of you will remember her name?
Will your minds recall by the fireside?
Will you press her softly against your lips?
Leave your secrets buried in the soil.
Let your glowing embers forever burn
Learn the lesson conjured by the old men.
Truthfully, nobody will get it right.
Yet tell yourself, "still now we have to try."
We bid farewell to you.
