Where did you find the epitaph poem for Midnight Club?

Great question. I found it in this fantastic video essay by Ladyknightthebrave. The whole thing is worth a watch, but she cites the poem at the end of the video and I started getting teary-eyed. We chased it down for CLUB and it's one of my favorite moments of the series.

The poem is "Epitaph" by Meritt Malloy, and if you aren't familiar with it, here it is:

Epitaph

by Merrit Malloy

When I die Give what’s left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or sounds.

Look for me In the people I’ve known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on in your eyes And not on your mind.

You can love me most By letting Hands touch hands, By letting Bodies touch bodies, And by letting go Of children That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die, People do. So, when all that’s left of me Is love, Give me away.

I’ll see you at home In the earth.

MEZAR YAZISI

Öldüğümde benden arta kalanları ölmeyi bekleyen çocuklara ve yaşlılara verin.

Ve eğer ağlaman gerekiyorsa, Sokakta yanında yürüyen kardeşin için ağla. Ve bana ihtiyacın olduğunda, herkese kollarını dola ve bana vermen gerekeni onlara ver.

Sana kelimelerden veya seslerden daha iyi bir şey bırakmak istiyorum.

Beni tanıdığım, sevdiğim insanlarda ara, eğer beni ele veremiyorsan, en azından izin ver gözlerinde yaşayayım, aklında değil. Beni en çok Ellerin ellere dokunmasına izin vererek, Bedenlerin bedenlere dokunmasına izin vererek ve Özgür olması gereken çocukları bırakarak sevebilirsin.

Aşk ölmez, insanlar ölür.

O yüzden benden geriye kalan tek şey aşk olduğunda,ver beni.

~Merrit Malloy

Quando morirò dai via ciò che resta di me, ai bambini e agli anziani che aspettano di morire. E se vuoi piangere,  fallo per il fratello che ti cammina accanto per strada. E quando avrai bisogno di me, abbraccia qualcuno  e dai loro ciò che dovevi dare a me. Voglio lasciarti una cosa, qualora di meglio delle parole o dei suoni. Cercami nelle persone che ho conosciuto o amato. E se non riesci a lasciarmi andare, almeno fammi vivere nei tuoi occhi e non nella mente. Puoi amarmi di più lasciando che le mani tocchino mani, che i corpi tocchino i corpi, e lasciando andare i bambini che devono essere liberi.  L'amore non muore, le persone sì. Quindi, quando di me resterà solo amore... donami agli altri.

Watching The Midnight Club and this poem hit so hard I had to find it for future reference. Epitaph by Merrit Malloy

When I die Give what's left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or Sounds. Look for me In the people I've known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on your eyes And not on your mind. You can love me most By letting hands touch hands, By letting Bodies touch bodies, And by letting go Of children That need to be free. Love doesn't die, People do. So, when all that's left of me Is love, Give me away. I'll see you at home In the earth.

« When I die, give what’s left of me away to children and old men that wait to die.

And if you need to cry, cry for your brother walking the street beside you.

And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give me.

I want to leave you something, something better than words or sounds.

You can love me best by letting hands touch hands, and by letting go of children that need to be free.

MIKE FLANAGAN USED “EPITAPH” BY MERRIT MALLOY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

[meueuadormecido]

Epitáfio

Quando eu morrer Dê o que restar de mim Para as crianças E aos idosos que esperam para morrer.

E se precisar chorar, Chore pelo seu irmão Que anda pelas ruas ao seu lado. E quando precisar de mim, Coloque seus braços Em volta de alguém E dê a ele o que você precisa me dar.

Eu quero te deixar algo, Algo melhor Do que palavras Ou sons.

Procure por mim Nas pessoas que conheci Ou amei, E se você não puder me deixar partir Ao menos deixe-me viver em seus olhos E não em sua mente.

Você pode me amar mais Deixando as mãos Tocarem as mãos, Deixando os corpos tocarem os corpos, E libertando as crianças Que precisam ser livres.

O amor não morre, Pessoas sim. Por isso, quando tudo que restar de mim For amor, Deixe-me partir.

— Merrit Malloy

Epitaph by Merrit Malloy

When I die

Give what’s left of me away

To children

And old men that wait to die.

And if you need to cry,

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms

Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me.

I want to leave you something,

Something better

Than words

Or sounds.

Look for me

In the people I’ve known

Or loved,

And if you cannot give me away,

At least let me live on in your eyes

And not on your mind.

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands,

By letting

Bodies touch bodies,

And by letting go

Of children

That need to be free.

Love doesn’t die,

People do.

So, when all that’s left of me

Is love,

Give me away.

[nima-words]

When I die

Translation of the poem "Epitaph" by Merritt Malloy into Russian

Эпитафия

Когда меня не станет

Отдай то, что от меня осталось

Детям 

И старикам, чье время пришло.

И если нужно пролить слезы,

Плачь о брате, 

Что идет рядом.

Когда будешь нуждаться во мне, 

Прижми к себе ближних

И отдай им 

То, что должно было достаться мне.

Я бы хотела оставить тебе

Что-то лучшее

Чем слова

Чем звуки.

Продолжай искать меня

В людях, которых я знала 

И любила

И если не сможешь отпустить

Позволь мне жить в твоем взгляде

Но не в мыслях.

Продолжай любить меня

Позволяя

Рукам касаться рук

Позволяя

Телам касаться тел

И отпуская

Детей, чье время идти дальше пришло.

Любовь не умирает,

Умирают люди.

И когда от меня останется только любовь,

Отдай ее.
