I have had my invitation to this world's festival,
and thus my life has been blessed.
My eyes have seen and my ears have heard.
It was my part ...
to play upon my instrument
and I have done all I could.
Now, I ask, has the time come at last
when I may go in
and see thy face
and offer thee my silent salutation?

J'avais eu mon invitation pour le festival de ce monde
et ainsi ma vie a été bénie.
Mes yeux ont vu et mes oreilles entendu.
Mon rôle était ...
de jouer de mon instrument,
et j'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu.
Maintenant je demande, si le temps est enfin venu,
quand pourrais-je entrer
et voir ton visage
et t'offrir mes salutations silencieuses
