Altough some sources also credit Eric Blau for this translation, we believe his input is related to the musical "Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris" from 1968.
The hypothesis is the following:
1967 Shuman version = male version
Lyrics:
My death is like a swinging door
A patient girl who knows the score
Whistle for her and the passing time
...
1968 Shuman&Blau version = female version
Lyrics:
My death waits like an old roué
So confident I'll go his way
Whistle to him and the passing time
