Farewell! I believe in this life
I shall never see you again.
God passes, He calls you and forgets me;
In losing you I feel that I loved you.
No tears, no vain complaint.
I know how to respect the future.
Let the sail come that takes you away,
Smiling I shall watch it depart.
You go away full of hope,
With pride you will return;
But those who will suffer from your absence,
You will not recognize them.
Farewell! you are going to dream a beautiful dream
And intoxicate yourself with a dangerous pleasure;
On your path the star that rises
Will long still dazzle your eyes.
One day you will perhaps feel
The worth of a heart that understands us,
The good that is found in knowing it,
And what one suffers in losing it.
Alfred De Musset
