You do not honour me by extinguishing yourself, love,
like a star that surrenders to pain;
you don't find me sinking in tears,
sadness cannot frame our song.
If my departure left a hole in your soul,
don't fill it with tears, it's not the way,
nor build a bridge of shadows and ashes,
memories are flowers that open in laughter.
Live in the light that still shines in your being,
remember my laughter, don't stop believing;
that love, though absent, does not die, it stays,
It blooms in dreams, it illuminates the pavement.
