I had a long life, for a dog, that is true
When I came to this foreign country
I loved it profoundly
I learned tricks from my daddy
and my mom hugged me all the time
I was so happy...
Then something happened
I could not understand
Some other people took me in hand
There I had a girlfriend called Sakura
and we made love in a fairytale garden
Sakura and I wanted lots of children
but it didn't work out
and later Sakura became too old
I received a lot of care
from this older pair
They loved me too with all their heart
Don't cry my keepers
I thank you for everything
I go now to another world
where I will rest in peace
Goodbye and remember, I loved you tender.
