Translation
The last song (reprise)
Language: English after the English
I would stand upon my two feet, singing! I would look upward with open eyes, singing! I would have the winds to envelope my body; the sun to shine upon my body; The whole world I would have to make music with me! Let it be beautiful. Let it be day when I sing the last song!
