When we meet, it is a song of joy,
When we part, it is a song of farewell.
Before the farewell song can be played, the strings snap, and I am shattered.
How can I play the song of joy at our reunion again?
What you gave me still hangs close to my heart.
Does the love I gave you still remain in yours?
I only wish, only wish, to mend the strings,
And play for you and me once more, a song of reunion that will last until our hair turns white...
