1. Do not think I have forgotten our covenant,
Forgetting you would be foolishness.

2. It would be unthinkable for me not to mention you
Or to worship God half-heartedly.

3. How could I forget you when through your friendship
I found my life, and in your absence, my end?

4. My longing for a life now past that was not
Spent in your service is longing still.

5. Soon we will be close to our homeland
And all sorrow will disappear.

6. Perhaps the echo of our joy will return
Amid play and merriment.
