Translation:
Please don't stand at my grave and cry.
I wasn't there. I didn't sleep.
I am the wind that stirs up, and I am inextricably linked.
I am a diamond in the snow, shining.
I am warm sunshine, close to rice.
I am a drizzle in autumn, gentle and soft.
When you wake up in the quiet of the morning
In the quiet hovering of birds.
I am free from high passion.
On a bright night
All I have is to release the gentle and bright stars.
Please don't cry at my grave,
I wasn't there. I didn't leave.
English version:
Don't stand at my grave and cry.
I'm not there, I don't sleep.
I am a thousand whistling winds.
I am a diamond shining in the snow.
I am the sunshine on the ripe grain.
I am gentle autumn rain
When you wake up in the silent morning
I am the fast-rising elevator peak.
Quiet birds fly in circles.
I am a soft star shining at night.
Don't stand at my grave and cry.
I wasn't there. I didn't die.
