A Thousand Winds by Masafumi Akikawa

Please don't cry

in front of my grave.

I'm not there,

I'm not sleeping.

A thousand winds.
I became a thousand winds

and am blowing

across that open sky.

In autumn, I become a sunlight

and fall onto farm lands.

In winter, I become snowflakes

sparkling like diamonds.

In the morning,

I become a bird and awaken you.

At night, I become a star

and watch over you.

Please don't cry

in front of my grave.

I'm not there,

I didn't die.

A thousand winds.
I became a thousand winds

and am blowing

across that open sky.

A thousand winds.
I became a thousand winds

and am blowing

across that open sky.

I am blowing

across that open sky.
