W. B. Yeats - O do Not Love Too Long 汉译

Sweetheart, do not love too long:

I loved long and long,

And grew to be out of fashion

Like an old song.

All through the years of our youth

Neither could have known

Their own thought from the other’s,

We were so much at one.

But O, in a minute she changed -

O do not love too long,

Or you will grow out of fashion

Like an old song.

呵，别爱得太久

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

心肝哟，别爱得太久：

我曾久久地爱过，

但结果华年流逝，

象一首过时的歌。

在全部青春岁月里，

我们谁也分不清

彼此纠缠的思绪；

我们简直象一人。

可是呵，她一下变了

呵，别爱得太久，

不然你华年流逝

象一支过时的曲。
