1. I console the minister of the two nations,
And complain to him of fate, the death of his father.

2. The seal of the pioneering generation has passed away,
He who paved the way to glory for the next generation.

3. Your father, the father of the free in all the land,
His speech about you resembles your speech about him.

4. He who gave his children his merits,
Remains eternal in this world through his children.

5. Even if we do not find a replacement for him,
You are sufficient to replace him for those who miss him.

6. He deserved to have lived forever,
So you could see in him what you hoped for and wished.
