My brother, for everyone, parting
My friend, parting weighs heavily
is grievous in its impact, with a terrifying specter.
On all, a ghastly specter looms.

But time is brother to victory,
Yet time is conquest's brother,
when one peer draws near another.
Each solace to the next entombs.

So it is better that we make peace with its war,
It's best to make of war, peace,
which wars against the peace of one with an ardent heart.
And not with heartsickness feud.

So we part, whether we consent or refuse,
So we part, consenting or not,
my tears pouring down my cheek.
My cheeks with copious tears imbued.
