Original lyrics
Translation
Death is nothing at all
Death is nothing at all. It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you,
and the old life that we lived so fondly together
is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble
of parting when we meet again!
La mort n’est rien
La mort n’est rien.
Je suis simplement passé dans la pièce à côté.
Je suis moi. Tu es toi.
Ce que nous étions l’un pour l’autre,
nous le sommes toujours.
Donne-moi le nom que tu m’as toujours donné.
Parle-moi comme tu l’as toujours fait.
N’emploie pas de ton différent.
Ne prends pas un air solennel ou triste.
Continue à rire de ces petites choses
qui nous amusaient tant.
Prie, souris, pense à moi, prie pour moi.
Que mon nom soit prononcé à la maison
comme il l’a toujours été,
sans emphase d’aucune sorte,
sans trace d’ombre.
La vie signifie tout ce qu’elle a toujours signifié.
Elle est ce qu’elle a toujours été.
Le fil n’est pas coupé.
Pourquoi serais-je hors de ta pensée
parce que je suis hors de ta vue ?
Je t’attends, je ne suis pas loin,
juste de l’autre côté du chemin.
Tu vois, tout est bien.
