When I am gone
Sing for me no sad songs
Plant no flowers at my head
Feed the green grass that coveres me
Or a dew drop wet
And I hope you'll remember
Even if I forget
And sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears.

--- Instrumental ---

My eyes will be blinded
My ears will not hear
So sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears.

--- Instrumental ---

The stone at my head
Will say that I'm gone
That all my seeds
Have been sown
But I'll leave with you my memory
In silence to live on
And I hope you'll remember
even if I forget.
And sing me no sad songs
and shed me no tears.

--- Instrumental ---

My eyes will be blinded
My ears will not hear
So sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears.

Shed me no tears.
Shed me no tears...
