May God water the days of union, though they have
May God water the days of reunion, though they are past and gone,
Passed and ended, like words left unheeded.
Like careless words uttered and then forgotten.

So will the past that passed and ended return?
Can what is past and gone return again?
Yes—but only if the blessing of fortune lends its aid.
Yes, if fortune’s favor comes to your aid.
