The eyes that drew from me such fervent praise
那眼睛吸引我發(fā)出熱情的贊美,
The arms and hands and feat and countenance
還有柔臂、纖手、鮮活的面龐,
Which made me a stranger in my own romance
浪漫的激情曾使我完全變了樣,
And set me apart from the well-trodden ways;
遠離了人群的喧鬧,獨自沉醉;
The gleaming golden curly hair, the rays
閃閃發(fā)光的金色卷發(fā)在飄飛,
Flashing from a smiling angel's glance
那是微笑的天使灑下的目光,
Which moved the world in paradisal dance,
世界舞蹈著,歡快地進入天堂,
Are grains of dust, insensibilities.
而今一切都冷卻了,化為塵灰。
And I live on, but in grief and self-contempt,
我活著,自怨自艾,悲哀抑郁'
Left here without the light I loved so much,
曾經熱愛的生活暗淡無光,
In a great tempest and with shrouds unkempt
像航船失控,經歷著狂風暴雨。
No more love songs, then, I have done with such,
再沒有情歌讓我放聲高唱,
My old skill now runs thin at each attempt,
往日的才情已經枯竭遠去,
And tears are heard within the harp I touch.
我撫琴吟詠卻聽到淚水流淌。
