Translation

```

Just for a short visit

We come into the world.

Here we cry and smile

And then we do not know

Where we go.

Yet we think that out presence here on earth

Is indispensable.

We do not know who we are,

Yet we want to embrace each and every one

As our very own.

When we want to glorify our own lives,

Immediately we cast a slur

On our true aspiration-life.
