Is this a reasonable Japanese translation?

Question:


"Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died." (From Always on My Mind - Elvis Presley)

あなたの甘い愛が死んでいないことを教え、教えてください

A response from a native or competent Japanese reader/writer would be greatly appreciated.

Arigato.

Answer:


僕に言って 君の甘い愛は死んでいないって

--------------
"Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died"
--> This line is the "hook" of the song, so "tell me" is possibly emphasized with adjustment to the melody. Lyrics often use "repeating the same phrase at the hook" actually.
