[English]

Let's sing a song full of hope, full of pain

Why don't you sing along my friend, for it's our last refrain

Forever young, ever strong, ever brave

Memories like this never end, no, they don't fade away

So when I'm gone, oh when I'm gone

I'll be right there, close to the sun

Keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on

And I'll be right there, close to the sun

Close to the sun

Close to the sun

Here's to the one to let shine through the rain

The ones who stood for something more

We won't forget your names

The tide is high, say goodbye, we're settin' sail

And all those midnight secrets told, we'll take 'em to the graves

So when I'm gone, oh when I'm gone

I'll be right there, close to the sun

Keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on

And I'll be right there, close to the sun

Close to the sun

Close to the sun

So when I'm gone, oh when I'm gone

I'll be right there, close to the sun

Keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on

And I'll be right there, close to the sun

Close to the sun
