It is not given to us to understand Why the wind rejoices so much And why children are so cruel of kindness Why would someone die So that we could see him So many different 'why' God left this world The day that is leaving cannot be returned Do not rush to go your way Careless taking a step Just say, Just say: 'Let it be so' Just let it be so But still the sun gives light And the night covers with peace Worries pull a new day And the poplar shakes its head This whole world and this light All that the wind hums A little stand without love And you and I know about it The day that is leaving cannot be returned Do not rush to go your way Careless taking a step Just say, Just say: 'Let it be so' Just let it be so
