Just to inform that Mary Frye of Baltimore, Maryland (d. 9/04) wrote the poem in 1932 to comfort a friend whose mother died in Germany. She was not interested in making money from it and so stayed well in the background. Through the years, the poem itself made its way all over the English speaking world and was eventually translated to other langugages. I hope the Japanese translation gives proper credit to her.
"While generally now attributed to Mary Frye, the hugely popular bereavement poem 'Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep' has uncertain history and origins. Debate surrounds the definitive and original wording of this remarkable verse, and for some people the authorship is unresolved too. The best evidence and research (summarised below) indicates that Mary Frye is the author of the earliest version, and that she wrote it in 1932."
Wikipedia is just about as reputable as an unnamed source: "Do not stand at my grave and weep is a poem, written by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although of disputed origin until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist."
Surely the wind and unnamed American Indians have less claim to the poem. Books WERE written in Japan that didn't mention her name even as a possibility. Wonder why...
my piano teacher introduced this song to me yeaterday. the lyrics are beautiful. Thank you so much for tranlating to Chinese so I can understand it better.

私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください
そこに私はいません 眠ってなんかいません千の風に千の風になって
あの大きな空を吹き渡っています秋には光になって
畑にふりそそぐ
冬はダイヤのように きらめく雪になる
朝は鳥になって あなたを目覚めさせる
夜は星になって あなたを見守る私のお墓の前で 泣かないでください
そこに私はいません 死んでなんかいません

*逝*/请不要在我的墓前哭泣/我已不在那里/ 并没有安睡在那里/我化为清风 / 遨游在无边的天际/我变成丝丝秋雨/ 撒落大地/我变成细细白雪 /化为素衣/
清晨我是云雀/ 窗前叫醒你/夜晚我是繁星 / 默默注视你
请不要在我的墓前哭泣/我已不在那里 /我不曾死去/
我化为清风 遨游在无边的天际
无边的天际
无边的
天际
