when i am dead, my dearest
when i am dead, my dearest
when i am dead, my dearest,
sing no sad songs for me;
plant thou no roses at my head,
nor shady cypress tree
be the green grass above me
with showers and dewdrops wet;
and if thou wilt, remember,
and if thou wilt, forget.
i shall not see the shadows,
i shall not feel the rain;
i shall not hear the nightingale
sing on, as if in pain:
and dreaming through the twilight
that doth not rise nor set,
haply i may remember,
and haply may forget.
等我死了,最亲爱的
等我死了,最亲爱的
等我死了,最亲爱的,
别为我唱哀歌,
别在我头上种玫瑰,
也不要松柏婆娑。
作我坟上的绿草,
任凭露滴雨浇。
如果你愿意,就记住
如果你愿意,就忘掉。
我将看不见树荫,
我将感不到雨滴,
我将听不见夜莺
仿佛在痛苦中哀啼。
在冥冥中长梦不醒,
再没有晨来昏往,
或许我还记得你,
或许我早已遗忘。
