Farewell
The break of the day was darker today
Instead of happiness
A gloomy mood surrounded us
As we’ve learned you’re no longer with us
So much joy, so much energy
So many dreams yet to come true…
Now, none of this matters,
You’ve fulfilled your mission
And as for us, who are still here,
What we have left are the memories
And the wishes that you may find Peace!
Be sure, my friend
Wherever you are,
We will live up to your legacy
And we will continue fighting
For a fairer and more diverse world
Thank you for bringing so much joy
You will always be in our hearts.
