All you nameless cats and dogs nobody cared for you,

nobody had interest in you,

now you have you own star.

We will never forget you,

those who are with the stars,

we would have liked to pat you

and diminuish your sufferings.

We were not granted to help,

nevertheless in this heavy time

our signatures will show that we are ready to fight.

Our fight will only end

when everyone will have it well,

to use our strength for this,

it is never too late.

I promise today,

never to look away

with other people to speak

that cruelty and suffering will never be again.

I don’t wish myself a lot of sums

or anything for myself,

only that you finally find peace,

that is a present for me.

When one of your little souls wants

to come on earth again,

find yourself a kind person,

a person with feeling.

Otherwise I wish you peace

And that you never again live anything bad

You have passed awaywithout a meaning,

so meaningless, that my heart tremors.

If I could save just one life

of a cat, a dog, only just one

Of you to bed on roses,

I’d give anything for that.
