You, my child, are welcomed to my land.

For as long as I am around
My rule is as solid as the sun's smile

My hair is the glimmer in the water
My tears, the forgiveness for the soil

My eyes are but distant stars in the night's sky
My lips, the flower petals that dance in the cool wind

My ears hear everything; every plea, prayer, and grateful whim
My hands and feet pure to every sensible touch

I surround you with flower bouquets, musical evenings, and peaceful days
What do I ask of you; the guardian of rebirth?

Take care of me in my old age, as my appearance is quite deceiving
Nurse the land that provided a solid home for you
No more disturbances, no more conflicts; rest and cherish the moments you have on my land

For once humankind withers me away
I will be but a wilting blossom
Yes you, my child, are welcomed on my land

Until the very end.
