This Defeat is a Pause

This defeat is a pause
Life is a great battle
I will perish bit by bit, but I will not beg for mercy
I will not ask for a boon

For the happy moments of memory
For my ruins
Know this, I will not desire the wealth of the world
I will not ask for a boon

Whether in defeat or in victory
I am not afraid in the slightest
Whatever comes my way on the path of struggle, this is right, that is also right
I will not ask for a boon

Do not touch my smallness now
You are great, remain great
I will not sacrifice the pain of my heart in vain
I will not ask for a boon

Whether you burn my heart
Whether you curse me
Do whatever you want, but I will not run away from the path of duty
I will not ask for a boon
