(Sung by Masafumi Akikawa; live video after the English poem)

Watashi no ohaka no mae de
Nakanai de kudasai
Soko ni watashi wa imasen
Nemutte nanka imasen

Sen no kaze ni
Sen no kaze ni natte
Ano Ooki na sora wo
Fuki watatte imasu

Aki ni wa hikari ni natte
Hatake wo furi sosogu
Fuyu wa daia no youni
Kirameku yuki ni naru

Asa wa tori ni natte
Anata wo mezamesaseru
Yoru wa hoshi ni natte
Anata wo mimamoru

Watashi no ohaka no mae de
Nakanai de kudasai
Soko ni watashi wa imasen
Shinde nanka imasen

Sen no kaze ni
Sen no kaze ni natte
Ano Ooki na sora wo
Fuki watatte imasu

Sen no kaze ni
Sen no kaze ni natte
Ano Ooki na sora wo
Fuki watatte imasu

Ano Ooki na sora wo
Fuki watatte imasu

Based on this poem 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 in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.
