I see a grave very small,
Inside it an infant is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the first sky,
I see the infant and I see a fairy,
Breast feeding the infant,
Singing a sweet melody,
What a lullaby is this!
I see a grave not too small,
Inside it a child is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the second sky,
I see the child and other children,
Making too much noise,
Playing hide and seek,
What a game is this!
I see a grave bigger than the two,
Inside it a boy is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the third sky,
I see the boy with a sweet lovely girl,
They are sharing snacks,
And cold drink,
What a drink is this!
I see again a grave is it,
Inside it a teenager is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the fourth sky,
I see the teenager keenly watching,
The forbidden fruit on the bosom of a tree,
With his keen thirsty eyes,
What a fruit is this!
I see another grave,
Inside it a naughty youth is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the fifth sky,
I see the youth with his old girl friend,
Desirous to taste the fruit,
But her beauty of refraining,
What a beauty is refraining!
I see one more grave,
Inside it a father is sleeping,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the sixth sky,
A lovely woman with all her charms,
Relieving the father of his pains,
And hard working for the child,
What a child is this!
I see last of the graves,
It’s waiting yet for the old grandfather,
His soul is away but where is the soul,
I shall tell you, wait, and let me fly,
To the seventh sky,
I see nothing an Angel informed,
His soul is in his lovely grandchild,
What a grandchild is this!
