Chorus:

He died outside, he came through the air,
Over the great mountains,
With a bird to carry him.
Strangers he brought with him,
He was not afraid of the outside wind
Nor of the outside cold.
He died young, this man with wings,
And he should not have died.
(Priests:) Buddha, embrace him!
Christ have mercy on him!
Mohammed, remember him!
Confucius, carry his bones!
