Translation of the song:
O Departing one, come back one day if possible
Do not forget this place and surroundings.
Your childhood friends and companions will be grief-stricken and will search for you everywhere. Every eye will try to locate you.
Every moment someone will call you. Whoever goes to the other shore never seems to come back. I wish someone could explain this mystery to me.
