Oh lord, let others do operation
Spare my only child from separation
Take away all my pleasures
But ever forget to grant my only treasure.

My child's heart is full of goodness and innocence
It is the spark of great brilliance
He never thinks again to sacrifice
You are Papillion even to the world of malice.

The moon hides when my son smiles
Sirius blinks when he once winks
The mountain shrinks if his bullet pierces
The nature sleeps as he marches.

Free my child from the world of man hunters
Make him relax in the company of lovers
Let him sing and dance and smile for ever
My life's greatest fulfillment lies there!
