In the throes of our love
.................................I became alive.
The lamp of my soul
.................... still lights well my way.
Reaching out to our star
................................ I find on arrival
The mem'ry of you
.............................invites me to stay.
Forasmuch as you gave
........................fresh meaning to life
And taught me what only
.......................... freedom can bring,
I salute you with warmth
...................... dear friend, as rightly
You stay ever close,
........ you, who made my heart sing.
