When We Two Parted
[英]喬治·戈登·拜倫
George Gordon Byron
當我倆分手時,
相泣而無言。
離別數載,
真是令人心碎。
你的臉龐蒼白而冰冷,
而更冷的是你的吻,
正是那一刻,
預言了我現在的悲涼!
那天的晨露
凍結了我的眉梢,
仿佛在預先警告
我今天的感受。
你背棄了所有的誓言,
你的聲譽也變得輕飄:
一聽到人們提起你的名字,
我就會分擔那份羞辱。
他們在我麵前提到你,
如同喪鍾在我耳邊響起;
令我顫抖不已——
那時我為何對你如此鍾情?
他們並不知我與你相識,
認識你的點點滴滴,
我將深深地,深深地為你惋惜,
深至不可言喻。
那時,我們幽會密約,
如今我卻黯然悲傷,
悲傷你的心竟然忘卻,
你的靈魂竟然欺誑。
假如多年以後,
我們再次相逢,
我該如何向你問候——
用一片沉默,用滿臉淚水?
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this!
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow;
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mind ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why weft thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee
Who knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met:
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
