When I am to be placed in the grave, 
Weep not for me, my love.
For I am not gone, but merely asleep,
And awaiting our reunion above.

So say not goodbye, my dearest,
Instead say sweet dreams and goodnight.
The sun has set, the shadows having slowly crept,
And now it’s time to turn off the light.

Have no worries, my beloved,
For we’ll be together once more.
Heaven awaits us, and an eternity together,
For my love will never waiver, of that you can be sure.
