Comencí creient que us podria salvar, mes, al final, honorar-vos és tot el que puc fer.
Mare, primera d'entre les dones; calidesa i confort meus, seguretat meva, orgull meu; tu ets aquella que vull complaure. Ets aquella de qui en vull l'elogi. Pare, primer d'entre els homes; mestre i jutge meu, l'home que sé que esdevindré.
Us feu grans, ara. Per davant meu aneu encara, com anireu sempre més avançats en el camí. Perdoneu que us necessiti forts per sempre. Perdoneu aquesta por meva a la infelicitat vostra. Tal com vós patiu, així jo he de patir. Tal com vós resistiu, així jo he de resistir. Agafeu-me les mans i caminem per l'antic passeig una darrera vegada, i, tot seguit, deixeu-me anar.
I began by thinking I could save you, but in the end, all I can do is honor you.
My mother, first among women, my warmth and my comfort, my safety, my pride, you're the one I want to please. You're the one I want to applaud me. My father, first among men, my teacher and my judge, the man I know I will become.
You grow older now. Still ahead of me as you'll always be forever further down the road. Forgive me for needing you to be strong forever. Forgive me for fearing your unhappiness. As you suffer, so I shall suffer. As you endure, so I shall endure. Hold my hands and walk the old walk one last time then let me go.
