I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard Him call

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work, or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I've savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me

God wanted me now, and with Him I'll be.

아,
고귀하게 태어나신 아버님...

당신의 순수 의식이 투명한 빛임을 깨닫고
善, 德 의 마음으로

존재의 근원과 영원히 하나 되소서
그리하여

영원한 자유에 이르소서
