Forgive me, my friend, my friend, forgive me.
I drank your tea not out of malice.
Forgive me, my friend, for the harshness of my words,
When you called, when I was not ready.

With a marvelous smile
Now you are a haze, a haze
Higher, higher, higher than the rainbow you fly,
Higher, higher, higher, but you are silent.

Forgive me, my dear friend,
For the fright of my heart.
Forgive me for the foolish thoughts,
About how to break my circle.
The loving tears of the eyes,
Forgive me for everything now.

The years will pass, the pain will subside,
But your love is forever.
And still, you are my friend.

We are here in desperate longing,
In the captivity of an unexpected misfortune.
And you are higher, higher, higher than the rainbow you fly,
Higher, higher, higher and you are silent for us.

I believe there, beyond the river of time,
Your soul will find peace.
And maybe in a year
I believe I will meet you there.

We are here in desperate longing,
In the captivity of an unexpected misfortune.
And you are higher, higher, higher than the rainbow you fly,
Higher, higher, higher and you are silent for us.

I believe there, beyond the river of time,
Your soul will find peace.
And maybe in a year
I believe I will meet you there.
