当我死去的时候,亲爱的

别为我唱悲伤的歌

我坟上不必安插蔷薇

也无需浓荫的柏树

让盖着我的青青的草

淋着雨也沾着露珠

假如你愿意 请记着我

要是你甘心 忘了我 　

我再见不到地面的青荫

觉不到雨露的甜蜜

我再听不到夜莺的歌喉

在黑夜里倾吐悲啼

在悠久的坟墓中迷惘

阳光不升起 也不消翳

我也许 也许我还记得你

我也许 我也许忘记

Song 1830 - 1894

Christina Georgina Rossetti
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.

这歌是罗大佑谱曲的处女作http://hi.baidu.com/stefaye/blog/item/516529f523e9e936bc310913.html
