Translation (by supertitlist Thomas Getty):
Sacred souls of my ancestors!
Her sun has set!

We came this morning to find you alone.
We need your help at this difficult time.

What's the use?

I know there's no comfort for her sorrow,
but we must secure the child's future.

- These flowers poison my heart!
- That woman will take good care of the child.

- You want me to tell this to a mother?
- The room of our love is unchanged!

- Go speak to this good woman.
- The chill of death is in here!

Three years have gone by
and she counted every hour!

- Go to her. - I can't stay here!

Sharpless, I'll wait for you outside.
