Carried over many seas, and through many nations

brother, I come to these sad funeral rites,

to grant you the last gifts to the dead,

and speak in vain to your mute ashes.

Seeing that fate has stolen from me your very self.

Ah alas, my brother, taken shamefully from me,

yet, by the ancient custom of our parents,

receive these sad gifts, offerings to the dead,

soaked deeply with a brother’s tears,

and for eternity, brother:

‘Hail and Farewell!’
