1. When I saw fate raging on, and found
No one among people to challenge fate like you,

2. I embarked upon hope that led me
To your distant abode.

3. And I thought to bring you a gift,
But found nothing a man like me could offer to deserve your friendship,

4. So I came to you with all the earth, hopefully,
Knowing fate guides your steps.

5. Take this, and steer the ship
My God created, that it may sail with your will.
