The path has been long,
my path has been very long.
It's time to close the pages,
it's the end of my time, it's about time.
There's nothing left that can tie me down,
too many steps have been taken.
I leave nothing behind,
I did what was right.
I have fulfilled my duty,
I completed my mission.
I have had a good life,
let's give thanks for having so much.
I have been able to climb to the stars and contemplate them,
I have climbed those paths,
hills and slopes.
It's time,
to be ready,
to get prepared,
to abandon the baggage.
I've been lucky,
fortunate,
blessed,
to be,
to be who I am,
to have flown on Earth.
Grateful to be able to sleep peacefully,
I have a clear conscience,
despite being bad,
I can't give any more of myself.
Without fear of crossing to the other side,
the earth calls me,
it's about time.
Now, let's go,
I had my time,
it's time to get everything ready.
And no one will feel it,
and that's good,
to leave without a sound,
without fear.
This world,
this world is not mine,
it's time to cross,
time to close the book of life.
Meanwhile,
I will dream of the stars,
of the seas of distant waters,
and in the end I will leave without anyone missing me.
It's good to leave,
it's the law of life, I will reach the end,
I know I will have a good welcome,
they will accompany me on the other path to the end.
And whatever happens, the sun will rise again in the world,
and the stars will illuminate the nights.
My clock runs with haste,
and so, my path.
