Look softly back at me my friend

When death disturbs your eyes
Shi Wa Anatano Meo fuan Ni Saserv
I died with love and majesty
Watash Wa Ai To Tomoni Lgen O Motivte Shinda
I never thought to cry
Watashi Wa Keshiite Nakanai
Many times I’ve looked at death surrounded by life and storms
Nan do Mo jinsei Wa Arashi Ya Shi Ni Kakomarete Irv No O
Awaken from my sleep
Watashi Wa Satottuta
I’ve bet that
Watashi Wa Miidashita
Death was not much more.
Shi Wa Takvsan Wa Nai
God calls us home to whom He please
Kami Wa Watashitachi o IE Ni Yonde Yorokobaseta
He is no respecter of man
Darenimo Byo Doo Ni Otozvreru
Death has its price
Shi NiWa Kachi GA Arv
And its rewards, the chase for god
Soshite sorewa kamini Mukuilu kotode hovbi ga ataerare rv
I’ve won
Watashiwa kakutoku shita watasguwa kachitottuta
This is departure I cry dear friend, wife dear lover children and kin…
Snin yuu Tsuma koibito kodomo soshite shinzoku GA
Tabitatsu toki Watashi Wa Naita
The Heart aches (farewell) the pain is gone

Speak kindly please. I’ve loved you all.
Fucai Kanashi Mi itamiwa ittute Shi Mattuta Anata no subeteo
I shite ita to yasashiku hanashite ne
