不，你挽回不了消逝的愛情，
讓它打成一個永遠無法解開的結。
How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at love's beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there's no untying!
Yet remember, midst your wooing,
Love has bliss, but Love has ruing;
Other smiles may make you fickle,
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes ,and Love he tarries,
Just as fate or fancy carries;
Longest stays,when sorest chidden;
Laughs and flies ,when pressed and bidden.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odour to the lily,
Bind the aspen never to quiver,
Then bind Love to last for ever.
Love' s a fire that needs renewal
Of fresh beauty for its fuel:
Love' s wing moults when caged and captured,
Only free, he soars enraptured.
Can you keep the bee from ranging
Or the ringdove' s neck from changing?
No! nor fettered Love from dying
In the knot there's no untying.
【愛爾蘭】托馬斯·穆爾Thomas Moore（1779-1852）
我的愛人，給我嘴對嘴的熱吻，
我在一個美妙夜晚教過你，
那時我們講究極樂中的花樣翻新，
便嚐試了種種作樂的創意。
來吧，輕輕地含住我的嘴唇，
讓你的嘴唇在脈脈傳情中使勁，——
嗬，不對！重來，這個吻還是有誤——
你怎麼可以這樣笨，我的親愛？
“別說，別說！”羞怯的姑娘回答——
她用乳脂般的雙臂一把將我摟住——
“你怎能這樣把你的學生責罵？
你明知道你這是在黑暗中教的我！”
Give me,my love,that billing kiss
I taught you one delicious night,
When,turning epicures in bliss,
We tried inventions of delight.
Come,gently steal my lips along,
And let your lips in murmurs move,—
Ah,no! —again that kiss was wrong—
How can you be so dull, my love?
"Cease,cease!" the blushing girl replied—
And in her milky arms she caught me—
''How can you thus your pupil chide?
You know it was in the dark you taught me !"
即使你那令人銷魂的青春美色
If All Those Endearing Young Charms
【愛爾蘭】托馬斯·穆爾Thomas Moore（1779-1852）
即使你那令人銷魂的青春美色
到了明天將改變，如幻影一般消逝，
請相信我，今天我仍如此熱切
把它珍視，即使它從我臂膀溜走。
你依舊像此刻一樣讓我沉醉，
即使你美麗的青春隨時光消逝；
而在我所懷念的廢墟周圍，
但願我心仍是一片纏繞它的綠！
當你自己的青春和美麗不再有，
你的紅顏也不會被淚水玷汙，
這一片熱忱和忠心會昭示，
時間對此隻會使你更受愛慕！
不，真誠愛你的心永遠不遺忘，
一旦真誠愛你就始終如一；
就像那永遠朝著太陽的向日葵，
不管太陽的帷幕是落下還是升起！
Believe me ,if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow,and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts,fading away.
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will;
And around the dear ruin,each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still!
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear!
No ,the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close;
As the sunflower turns on her god,when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose!
這是種新的感覺
It Was a New Feeling
【愛爾蘭】托馬斯·穆爾Thomas Moore（1779-1852）
這是種新的感覺，多了一些
我們過去怯於去擁有的感情，
此刻已不再掩飾；
我們從彼此的眼神裏看出它，
歎息中，渴望道出心裏的話，
可就是欲言又止。
她感到我嘴唇的熱吻——
我第一次膽敢吻得這麼狠，
可是她沒有把我怪罪；
卻貼近我發燒的額頭耳語：
“噢，你還懷疑我愛你？”
我不懷疑，寶貝！
激情澎湃的我發覺她很興奮，
於是我把她摟得更緊，更緊，
她輕囑：別閃失；
噢！世上就很少聽說
情侶差一點就可能犯錯，
可情侶從沒閃失。
It was a new feeling——something more
Than we had dared to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each other's eye,
And wished,in every half-breathed sigh,
To speak ,but did not.
She felt my lips' impassioned touch——
It was the first time I dared so much,
And yet she chid not;
But whispered over by burning brow,
"Oh,do you doubt I love you now?"
Sweet soul! I did not.
Warmly I felt her bosom thrill,
I pressed it closer,closer still,
Though gently bid not;
