I learnt long ago if you love someone
You have to let it go, let it go, let it go
The hardest part of letting go
Is saying Goodbye.
| Remarks about the translation | Graag had ik deze tekst vertaald gehad.
De reden is voor een grafsteen omdat de persoon zelfmoord pleegde naar het verliezen van haar geliefde. Dit waren haar laatste woorden tegen haar ex.
De tekst mag in een onzijdige vorm vertaald worden. Bij twijfel liever dit te vermelden |

| Si aliquos amamus ei nobis mittendi sunt | | Target language: Latyn
Iampridem cognovi:
si aliquos amamus
ei nobis mittendi sunt,
mittendi sunt, mittendi sunt.
Difficillime nobis est
eis 'valete' dicere.

And the 2 last lines would mean
"Hardest for us is that we need to say goodbye to them".
So I'd rather translate it to "difficillimum mittendi est dicere "vale"". | | |

9 February 2014 19:24 | | | Hi guys! 
say goodbye = valere iubere (Collins Latin Dictionary)
Anyway, I don't insist. I like your options with <dicere "vale">. I have thought about it too, but considered it a bit awkward.
Anyway,
Yes, I could change the text into singular to make it more literal, but I believe that it's got more general meaning when it's in plural.
"difficillimum mittendi est" is not correct
construction, Pashicane, sorry.
Why "reliquendA", evulitsa? If I took your option I'd say "reliquendum", but it still wouldn't express English "let IT GO".
Could you help me here, Efy and Alex?

About that "valere iubere"... Well, it could be changed to "vale(te) dicere", I think that it's a valid alternative, perhaps sounding more colloquial (let's not forget that dictionaries are mostly based on literary sources). It's up to you, Aneto, choose the one you like most fitting best in the text.
