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 sunlight 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 circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
 
Translation

'Oua Tu'u 'I Ho'oku Fa'itoka 'o Tangi

'Oua naa ke tu'u 'i ho'oku fa'itoka 'o tangi;
He 'oku 'ikai 'i hena au. 'Ikai mohe au.
Ko au ko e ha havilivili toko ngeau 'oku puhi
Ko au ko e ha taimone 'oku ngingila 'i he 'uhahinehina
Ko au ko e maamala'a 'i he tenga kuo moho
Ko au ko e 'uha fakata'utolau maamalie.
 
'I ho'o aa 'i he fakana'ana'a 'o e uhu
Ko au ia ko e ue'i fakavave mo fakamanava
'O e fanga manupuna longolongo kuo puna takaiholo 'i 'olunga.
Ko au ko e ngaahi fetu'u pongia 'oku ulo 'i he po.
'Oua naa ke tu'u 'i ho'oku fa'itoka 'o tangi;
He 'oku 'ikai 'i hena au. 'Ikai na'e mate au.
