If I could live again,

Next life-I will work hard.

-Make more mistakes,

I stopped trying to be perfect,

I'll let myself relax a little,

I will become more stupid than I am now.

Actually, I wouldn't be that serious,

I wouldn't be so particular about hygiene,

I'll take more risks,

I will travel to more places,

I will watch more sunsets,

I will climb more mountains,

I will swim in more rivers,

I will go to more places I have never been,

I will eat more iced cheese and less sour beans.

I will ask more real questions than imaginary ones.

Like those people, I will.

Carefully and richly

Every moment of my life,

Of course, I will have many happy moments-but,

If I could live it again, I would try to only want those beautiful moments.

If you don't know how to build that life,

Then don't throw it away now!

I am such a person: they have never been anywhere,

Without a thermometer,

Without a thermos,

There is no umbrella or parachute.

If I can live again, I will go to the light,

If I could live again, I would walk barefoot.

From the beginning to the end of spring.

Autumn has passed,

I'll take more carriages,

I will watch more dawns and play with more children.

If I still have life to live-but I'm 85 years old now.

I know I'm going to die ...
