But in wikipedia was:
"The phrase is a memento mori, which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia", as if spoken by personified Death."
Thanks Kafetzou. | | |

"And I [= death] too (am) in Arcadia" or as "I [= the person in the tomb] also used to live in Arcadia."
I am also in Arcade.
I am in Arcade too.
It's better, isn't it? Gracias! | | |
