New Love, New Life
[德]約翰·沃爾夫岡·歌德
Johann Wolfgang Von Goeth
心啊!我的心!這是怎樣的感覺?
什麽壓迫著你,如此苦痛?
多麽奇怪的生活啊,
我無法再看清你。
令你歡愉的一切都已不在,
所有令你哀傷的一切都已不在,
你的安寧,你的勤奮也都遠去——
啊,為什麽會這樣?
說吧,青春美麗而優雅,
如此美麗、輝煌的形態,
如此親切、誠實的凝視,
這無窮的魅力是否捆住了你?
我想要逃開她,
振作精神,殘酷地逃脫,
棄她而去。可毫不猶豫,
我又踏上了尋她之路。
我絕不可能割破它,
這張賦予了魔力的網啊。
這位殘酷的女孩啊,
永遠將我緊緊套牢。
當這奇妙的鏈鎖禁閉了我,
我舉手投降。
啊,這事實的變化太大了!
愛啊!仁慈的愛啊!讓我解脫吧!
Heart!My heart!What means this feeling?
What oppresseth thee so sore?
What strange life is o'er me stealing!
I acknowledge thee no more.
Fled is all that gave thee gladness,
Fled the cause of all thy sadness,
Fled thy peace, thine industry—
Ah, why suffer it to be?
Say, do beauty's graces youthful,
Does this form so fair and bright,
Does this gaze, so kind, so truthful,
Chain thee with unceasing might?
Would I tear me from her boldly,
Courage take, and fly her coldly,
Back to her. I'm forthwith led
By the path I seek to tread.
By a thread I ne'er can sever,
For'tis'twined with magic skill,
Doth the cruel maid for ever
Hold me fast against my will.
While those magic chains confine me,
To her will I must resign me.
Ah, the change in truth is great!
