「化為千縷風」(千風之歌) (譯:張桂娥)
請不要佇立在我墳前哭泣
我不在那裡 我沒有沈睡在那裏
化為千風 我已化身為千縷微風
翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡
秋天 化身為陽光照射在田地間
冬天 化身為白雪綻放鑽石光芒
晨曦升起時 幻化為飛鳥輕聲喚醒你
夜幕低垂時 幻化為星辰溫柔守護你
請不要佇鄰我墳前哭泣
我不在那裡 我沒有離開人間
化為千風 我已化身為千縷微風
翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡
化為千風 我已化身為千縷微風
翱翔在無限寬廣的天空裡
Do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
