Love Is Cruel, Love Is Sweet
[愛爾蘭]托馬斯·麥克多納
Thomas MacDonagh
愛是殘酷的,也是甜蜜的
痛苦而甜美,
戀人歎息待相見,
哀歎,相見,
哀歎,相見,又哀歎
甜中有苦!苦中有甜!
愛是盲目的,也是狡黠的,
盲目而狡黠。
大膽的想法,羞澀的言談,
大膽而羞澀,
大膽,羞澀,再大膽,
膽大則甜蜜,羞澀則痛苦。
Love is cruel, love is sweet,—
Cruel and sweet,
Lovers sigh till lovers meet,
Sigh and meet—
Sigh and meet, and sigh again—
Cruel sweet!O sweet pain!
Love is blind—but love is sly,
Blind and sly.
Thoughts are bold, words are shy—
Bold and shy—
Bold and shy, and bold again—
Sweet is boldness,—shyness pain.
