J ' aime ton sourire et ton regard. Chère mère, Laisse-moi rêver sur tes seins une dernière fois.
Désormais, je veux te fêter tous les jours, Et quand viendra encore ton anniversaire, Je m ' y plongerais davantage dans ton bassin d ' amour, Où les étoiles scintilleraient sous la clarté lunaire.
Toi, la femme qui connaît mes qualités et mes défauts, Demande à Dieu qu ' à chaque soir avant que je sommeille, Que ces souvenirs viennent visiter le creux de mes oreilles, Pour que je puisse dormir dans l ' ambiance de ton solo.

A Simple Farewell At Dawn- My Lord! My friend left and headed east, Where she will find true comfort, peace And serenity. She’ ll be free of pain And misery, and be blessed by the rain.
Esther, my friend, was a wonderful person, A fighter, a great mother, and a superwoman. She knew how to endure pain and suffering. She was a modern princess, who loved spring, With its nasty thorns and the beautiful flowers. She’ s now gone with the wind and the thunders.
My Lord! My friend left with last night’ s sunset, Where she will no longer be uptight and upset, With the problems and the difficulties of life. Now, she has no pain, no worries and no mouth.
