Translation
Grief is a Guest of Honour
Grief is to be watered with tears
So that it would blossom
Nurse and cherish, carefully tend
So it won't go to waste
Never turn it away from your door
Grief, if comes knocking
Bid it welcome, feed and water
Give it a place to stay
And when the flower has seen the summer
It wilts to the soil of the ground
Still, you will see it as a flower
Memories are the dearest gold
Nor did your guest come to stay
It took another journey
Yet it will come to you again
Closer than you care to foresee
What your guest of honour tells you
Hide it well in your heart
Those teachings can't be found in volumes
Or bought with millions of marks
A man's eyes are made for cries
Let those tears be wept
After all a new day will come
When you've a spring in your step
And when the flower has seen the summer
It wilts to the soil of the ground
Still, you will see it as a flower
Memories are the dearest gold
Nor did your guest come to stay
It took another journey
Yet it will come to you again
Closer than you care to foresee
