Do not stand at my grave and weep
Please don't stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I do not sleep
I wasn't there, I didn't fall asleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the stirring wind, thousands of threads
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am a diamond in the snow, shining brightly
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the warm sunshine, close to the rice
I am the gentle autumn's rain
I am the drizzle in autumn, gentle and gentle
When yu awaken in the morning hush
When you wake up to the peace of the morning
I am the swift up lift rush
I am unrestrained with soaring passion
Of quiet birds in circled flight
In the quiet circling of birds
I am the soft stars that shine at night
I am the bright and gentle stars again
Do not stand at my grave and cry
Please don't stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I did not die
I'm not there, I'm not gone.
Where did the deceased go? Maybe they turned into wind or snow, fell into the night sky and became a star, or perched outside the window and became a bird. But they and their love never leave, just like this little poem says: I have not rested, I have never left. So please don't cry at my grave. Because the person who least wants to see you cry is me.
Dazai, Odasaku, kind regards
