Is it right?
The general and detail meaning of the poem is that the poet will be dead in a thousand years and he will write a song(the poem) that will be very old by the time it's read. He doesn't want the song to die because through it, he won't be dead. The poet doesn't care about material things in life, but he cares about simple things like art, love, values, etc. He doesn't care about time and space, either. He wants to spread his thoughts through the things he writes.
The poet's intention is to make us realize that material things aren't as important as simple things and that we will be remembered because of the good things wendo and say.

[Very good! The only real mistake is the missing "ed" from "detailed". You don't the "he cares" because we already know you're talking about what the poet cares about, so it sounds a little stilted if you leave that in.]
