(试译)《When We Two Parted》(昔日依别)
When we two parted
昔日依别
In silence and tears,
泪潸无言
Half broken-hearted
肝肠寸断
To serve for years,
伴之多年
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
君颜凄冷
Colder thy kiss,
一吻寒深
Truly that hour foretold
别时所卜
Sorrow to this!
悲如之沉!
The dew of the morning
晨露凝重
Suck chill or my brow
沾我眉襟
It felt like the warning
莫若示我
Of what I feel now.
恋恋此心
Thy cows are all broken,
山盟不在
And light is thy fame;
恶传四邻
I hear thy name spoken,
君已昭著
And share in its shame.
羞闻之名
They name thee before me,
众俱呼之
A knell to mine ear;
如丧钟鸣
A shudder comes o’er me
入耳颤之
Why wert thou so dear?
云胡深情?
They know not I knew thee
无人知我
Who knew thee too well:
与君深交
Long, long shall I rue thee,
我悔于君
Too deeply to tell.
竟无分晓
In secret we met-
与君私邀
In silence I grieve,
脉脉情丝
That thy heart could forget,
君心既忘
Thy spirit deceive.
离魂莫识
If I should meet thee
与君续缘
After long year,
此去经年
How should I greet thee?
何以堪言
With silence and tears.
无语凝噎?
