Bear with my fault, dear friend
See my mistake
Bear with my ignorance, old friend
And our bond I will not break
The bamboo is cut, my sweet friend
The tall timber has fallen
The cherry blossom has withered, caring friend
Tears fall from my eyes so swollen
The lamp is about to fade, brave friend
Let it go now
The oil is leaking, careful friend
Leave and do not witness how
Leave, I beg you, loving friend
Witness not my sleep
Good night now, my old friend
I start now my slumber deep
