The friend of mine is gone

Поэтический перевод произведения «Не стало друга моего»,
автор исходника на русском языке – [Павел Поддубский]

The friend of mine is gone for timeless good.
The man of highest ranks is gone forever!
How come his notes aren’t finished as they should,
And books of his won’t show their pages ever?

How do I take, he won’t drop by again,
How did it come, he’s done his music playing?
The tune of his gets dusty in a pen,
And candles weep their wax and cease displaying.

Oh well, my buddy, have thy journey well.
Go knock it out in candy land’s frontiers.
It’s beautiful up there in Jan, they tell,
While we down here are drowned in bitter tears.

For longest time, my friend, don’t wait for us.
For longest time in solitude be there.
Through play with angels cover for our guts,
And thus, to all of us, your laughter share.
