When I become weak and old
When the pain prevents me from sleeping and walking
So please do what needs to be done
You're the only one I trust.
You'll be very sad, your eyes will mist up and I understand you
But turn a deaf ear to your grief.
On this day, more than any other
Your love and friendship will have to endure this ultimate test.
We've spent so many happy years together
You wouldn't want to see me suffer any more, the weight of the years is so heavy for me.
When that day comes, please let me leave on my cloud.
Take me where someone will take care of me and ease my pain
And stay with me until the end, until my last breath.
Hold me tight and talk to me in silence
Lay your cheek against mine
Until my eyes close and see no more.
I know you'll do everything to postpone this cursed day
But tell yourself it's an honor you'll give me, one last proof of love.
My tail will wag for the last time, just for you
You'll have saved me from misery and suffering
You mustn't feel sorry for having had to make this decision.
We've been so close all these years
Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by grief
You'll always be my friend, my brother, I'll watch over you.
