英语爱情诗歌歌词
我的爱人
passba.com 647 1-17
My love,
You are like a flower,
So sweet and pure and fair.
我的爱人,
你就像一朵鲜花,
那么甜蜜、纯洁而秀雅。
当你老了
passba.com 818 1-17
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire,take down this book,
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
当你老了,头白了,睡思昏沉,
炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和
回想它们过去的浓重的阴影;
多少人爱你年轻环畅的时候
爱慕你的美貌出于假意或真心,
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
爱你老去的容颜的痛苦的皱纹。
躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁,
凄然的低语,爱为何消逝,
在头顶的山上他缓缓踱着步子,
将脸隐没在了群星之中。
作者WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS 叶芝(1865-1939)
作者WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS 叶芝,用英语写作的爱尔兰诗人,早年曾参加爱尔兰独立运动,但后来脱离政治运动,专心致力与文学写作。其诗风受布莱克影响较深;后与法国诗派接触,使他的诗又带上了唯美注意和象征主义色彩。叶芝在1923年获得诺贝尔文学奖,是一位对现代诗歌具有重大影响的诗人。叶芝在1889年遇见女演员、爱尔兰独立运动战士Maud
Gonne,并爱上了她,他曾多次向她求婚,但均遭拒绝,但他终生爱慕着她,为她写下了许多诗,《当你老了》就是其中一首。
Of Love 论爱情 - 培根
passba.com 628 1-17
The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For
as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then
of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like
a siren, sometimes like a fury.
舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。因为在舞台上,爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材,而在人生中,爱情却常常招来不幸。它有时象那位诱惑人的魔女(1),有时又象那位复仇的女神(2)。
You may observe, that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof
the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one,
that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows
that great spirits, and great business, do keep out this weak passion.
You must except, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner
of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver;
whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate;
but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems
(though rarely) that love can find entrance, not only into an open
heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well
kept.
你可以看到,一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人,只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的),没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。因为伟大的事业只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外(3)。前者本性就好色荒淫,然而后者却是严肃多谋的人。这说明爱情不仅会占领开旷坦阔的胸怀,有时也能闯入壁垒森严的心灵----假如手御不严的话。
It is a poor saying of Epicurus, Satis magnum alter alteri theatrum
sumus; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven, and all
noble objects, should do nothing but kneel before a little idol,
and make himself a subject, though not of the mouth (as beasts are),
yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes.
埃辟克拉斯(4)曾说过一句笨话:“人生不过是一座大戏台。”似乎本应努力追求高尚事业的人类,却只应象玩偶般地逢场作戏。虽然爱情的奴隶并不同于那班只顾吃喝的禽兽,但毕竟也只是眼目色相的奴隶,而上帝赐人以眼睛本来是有更高尚的用途的。
It is a strange thing, to note the excess of this passion, and how
it braves the nature, and value of things, by this; that the speaking
in a perpetual hyperbole, is comely in nothing but in love. Neither
is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said,
that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have
intelligence, is a man's self; certainly the lover is more. For
there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself, as
the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said,
That it is impossible to love, and to be wise. Neither doth this
weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but
to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. For it
is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque,
or with an inward and secret contempt.
过度的爱情追求,必然会降低人本身的价值。例如,只有在爱情中,才总是需要那种浮夸陷媚的词令。而在其他场合,同样的词令只能招人耻笑。古人有一句名言:
“最大的奉承,人总是留给自己的。”----只有对情人的奉承要算例外。因为甚至最骄傲的人,也甘愿在情人面前自轻自贱。所以古人说得好:“就是神在爱情中也难保持聪明。”情人的这种弱点不仅在外人眼中是明显的,就是在被追求者的眼中也会很明显----除非她(他)也在追求他(她)。所以,爱情的代价就是如此,不能得到回爱,就会得到一种深藏于心的轻蔑,这是一条永真的定律。
By how much the more, men ought to beware of this passion, which
loseth not only other things, but itself! As for the other losses,
the poet's relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred
Helena, quitted the gifts of Juno and Pallas. For whosoever esteemeth
too much of amorous affection, quitteth both riches and wisdom.
由此可见,人们应当十分警惕这种感情。因为它不但会使人丧失其他,而且可以使人丧失自己本身。甚至其他方面的损失,古诗人早告诉我们,那追求海伦的人,是放弃了财富和智慧的(5)。
This passion hath his floods, in very times of weakness; which are
great prosperity, and great adversity; though this latter hath been
less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent,
and therefore show it to be the child of folly. They do best, who
if they cannot but admit love, yet make it keep quarters; and sever
it wholly from their serious affairs, and actions, of life; for
if it check once with business, it troubleth men's fortunes, and
maketh men, that they can no ways be true to their own ends.
由此可见,人们应当十分警惕这种感情。因为它不但会使人丧失其他,而且可以使人丧失自己本身。甚至其他方面的损失,古诗人早告诉我们,那追求海伦的人,是放弃了财富和智慧的(5)。
I know not how, but martial men are given to love: I think, it is
but as they are given to wine; for perils commonly ask to be paid
in pleasures.
我不懂是什么缘故,使许多军人更容易堕入情网,也许这正象他们嗜爱饮酒一样,是因为危险的生活更需要欢乐的补偿。
There is in man's nature, a secret inclination and motion, towards
love of others, which if it be not spent upon some one or a few,
doth naturally spread itself towards many, and maketh men become
humane and charitable; as it is seen sometime in friars.
人心中可能普遍具有一种博爱倾向,若不集中于某个专一的对象身上,就必然施之于更广泛的大众,使他成为仁善的人,象有的僧侣那样。
Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton
love corrupteth, and embaseth it.
夫妻的爱,使人类繁衍。朋友的爱,给人以帮助。但那荒淫纵欲的爱,却只会使人堕落毁灭啊!

LOVE IS CRUEL, LOVE IS SWEET
Thomas MacDonagh
Love is cruel, love is sweet, --
Cruel sweet,
Lovers sigh till lovers meet,
Sigh and meet --
Sigh and meet, and sigh again --
Cruel sweet! O sweetest pain!
Love is blind -- but love is sly,
Blind and sly.
Thoughts are bold, but words are shy --
Bold and shy --
Bold and shy, and bold again --
Sweet is boldness, -- shyness pain.

Love is so short,forgetting is so long
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'the night is starry
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance'.
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her.
To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her,
the night is starry and she is not with me.
This is all.
In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short ,forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
LOVE爱
843 1-18
All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs thi mortal frame,
All are but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.
一切思想、激情和欢乐,
凡把这肉身激动的一切
都只不过是爱神的使者,
使他的圣火烧得烈。
Oft in my waking dreams do I
Live o'er again that happy hour,
When midway on the mount I lay,
Beside the ruin'd tower.
在我醒时的出神中,我常
一遍遍重温那幸福时刻;
当时我在那山的半腰上,
在倒了的塔边躺着。
How do I love thee 英国最经典的情诗
2658 1-18
How do I love thee 英国最经典的情诗
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday‘s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood‘s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Against Love
530 1-18
Against Love
Hence Cupid! with your cheating toys,
Your real griefs,and painted joys,
Your pleasure which itself destroys.
Lovers like men in fevers burn and rave,
And only what will injre them do crave.
Men's weakness makes love so severe,
They give him power by their fear,
And make the shackles which they wear.
Who to another does his heart submit,
Makes his own idol,and then worships it.
Him whose heart is all his own,
Peace and liberty does crown,
He apprehends no killing frown.
He feels no raptures which are joys diseased,
And is not much transported,but still pleased.
First Love

First Love
Wislawa Szymborska
Translated from the Polish by
Clare Cavanagh and Stanislaw Baranczak
Monologue of a Dog
Harcourt, Inc.
Source from:http://www.poems.com
They say
the first love's most important.
That's very romantic,
but not my experience.
Something was and wasn't there between us,
something went on and went away.
My hands never tremble
when I stumble on silly keepsakes
and a sheaf of letters tied with string
— not even ribbon.
Our only meeting after years:
two chairs chatting
at a chilly table.
Other loves
still breathe deep inside me.
This one's too short of breath even to sigh.
Yet just exactly as it is,
it does what the others still can't manage:
unremembered,
not even seen in dreams,
it introduces me to death.
MY love by Lloyd O'Boyle
524 1-18
MY love by Lloyd O'Boyle
There's a girl who I love,
I think I'll find her, get her and pray
that we stay forever together and rise above
the pettyness of lying and watch her lay.
Her name is Tammy, a girl that'll be true
to me in every way imaginable
as we found eachother again, which happens few
as together we did what was thought impossible.
This is the story about my love Tammy,
she and I will have good times to come
as she finally realised how much she loved me
and found me again with people - some.
A question of time, patience,
loyalty, trust and of course the most important - love
that probed throughout cyberspace's radiance
and touching all with thier sweet velvet glove.
Returning back is the greatest of all,
to see her face, to hear her voice, to touch her hand
is to be my greatest positive judgement call
as together in the grass playing we will fall.
几首英文的爱情诗歌
1061 1-18
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
I Ching
When two people are at one
in their inmost hearts,
they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze.
And when two people understand each other
in their inmost hearts,
their words are sweet and strong,
like the fragrance of orchids.
Eskimo Love Song
You are my husband, you are my wife
My feet shall run because of you
My feet dance because of you
My heart shall beat because of you
My eyes see because of you
My mind thinks because of you
And I shall love, because of you.
中英诗歌中的爱情与死亡
1305 1-18
初读英文诗歌时,即对其中不少爱与死的描写有所感触。如同其他抽象的
理念一样,爱情和死亡,在英文文学中,尤其在诗歌中,可以做为一个超越现
实世界的独立存在来感悟,来思辩,来描写,来讴歌。而中国文化中,并没有
这种超越现实的理念世界及其相对应的文学表达。爱和死,在英文诗歌中,并
不必与具体的客观世界和诗人的现实生活相牵连,因此也没有中文诗歌中那种
‘情景交融’的特点,而多是内化的理念思考和抽象化了的感情表达。
因此,爱情和死亡的关系,在英文诗歌中似乎比中文诗歌的涉及面更广,
表达方式也更多样。比如下面这首细辩爱与死亡异同的《尽管我年轻无辩》:
尽管我年轻无辩
本.琼生
如我之年青,无法细辨,
死亡的本意和爱的真谛,
尝闻二者皆带箭头,
双双的目标是人的心脏。
复又听说,各有德性,
爱伤于火,死伤于冰;
我似恍然有所觉悟,
感受的极端结果却一途。
恰如断壁残垣,
或灰飞或塌坍;
又好比我之消亡,
似潮退又似闪电;
因知爱之燃烧的箭杆,
亡我之速有如死神冰冷的魔手;
惟有爱火的炽热尚存,
惊散坟墓中寒气逼人的霜雾。
Though I am Young and Cannot Tell
Ben Jonson
Though I am young, and cannot tell
Either what death or love is well,
Yet I have heard they both bear darts,
And both do aim at human hearts.
And then again, I have been told
Love wounds with heat, as Death with cold;
So that I fear they do but bring
Extremes to touch, and mean one thing.
As in a ruin we it call
One thing to be blown up, or fall;
Or to our end like way may have
By a flash of lightning, or a wave;
So love's inflamed shaft or brand
May kill as soon as Death's cold hand;
Except Love's fires the virtue have
To fright the frost out of the grave.
整首诗是一种‘虚拟’理念的对比思考,没有具体的情景。比喻的事物也
以抽象概念和事物的一般类别居多,比如热,冷,生,死,人心,箭头,感觉
(TOUCH),断壁残垣,闪电浪潮,坟墓等。这种思辩性的理念诗歌,在
中文中是几乎不见的。汤显祖《牡丹亭题词》中有:“情不知所起,一往而深,
生者可以死,死可以生。生而不可死,死而不可变生者,皆非情之至也。”似
乎比较类似生死的思考。但这仍旧是一种模糊性的感性思维,而不是理性的思
辩。
爱情与死亡在诗歌中最常见的结合方式,大约是用死亡来表达爱情的强度
和极限了。生命的极限是死亡,人的情感之深之久,用生命的极限来衡量,是
很容易理解的。这倒是中英诗歌中都有的。比如《诗经》中便有:
……
“生死契阔”,
与子成说。
执子之手,
与子偕老。
……
毂(车应为禾)则异室,
死则同穴。
谓予不信,
有如皎日。
脍炙人口的元好问《迈陂塘》有:“问世间,情是何物,直教生死相许?
天南地北双飞客,老翅几回寒暑。欢乐趣,离别苦,离中更有痴儿女。君应有
语,渺万里层云,千山暮雪,只影向谁去?”情是何物生死相许,似有问,但
无答,更无辩。只是一种情的表达。英文诗歌中也有相应的以死相许的爱情誓
言,但更突出的,是将死亡和爱情做为两种抽象理念的关系,来对应关联。因
此英文中才会有“只要上帝允许,在死后我爱你将只会更加深情。”的诗句:
葡萄牙十四行诗 (第43首)
伊丽莎白.勃郎宁
我究竟怎样爱你?让我细数端详。
我爱你直到我灵魂所及的深度、
广度和高度,我在视力不及之处
摸索着存在的极致和美的理想。
我爱昵象最朴素的日常需要一样,
就象不自觉地需要阳光和蜡烛。
我自由地爱昵,像人们选择正义之路,
我纯洁地爱昵,像人们躲避称赞颂扬。
我爱你用的是我在昔日的悲伤里
用过得那种激情,以及童年的忠诚。
我爱你用的爱,我本以为早以失去
(与我失去的圣徒一同);我爱你用的笑容、
眼泪、呼吸和生命!只要上帝允许,
在死后我爱你将只会更加深情。
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints--I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
“IF GOD CHOOSE, I SHALL BUT LOVE
THEE BETTER AFTER DEATH”读来不仅有震撼人心的
力量,而且有一种超越死亡限制的升华感觉。这也是东西方文化之差异在文学
作品中的一个表现。即西方文化中有宗教和超越现世的世界,因此可以说死后
更加爱你。另外,这首著名诗词对爱情的描写有许多与众不同。王佐良的评说:
“‘我自由地爱你……’,这就使情诗脱出了一般卿卿我我的格局,而结尾处
反顾童年的激情,前瞻死亡之并非终结,更使意境深远起来。”(见《英国诗
史》)其实,意境深远还是中式的评语,思辩的理性情感,才是此诗的特点。
据说勃郎宁夫人在婚前的恋爱中写下这40多首爱情十四行诗,直到婚后才悄
悄放入丈夫口袋,并说如果他不喜欢就烧掉它们。勃郎宁读后说,我决不敢私
藏自莎士比亚以来无论任何语言中最美的十四行诗。因此,这些诗得以印行。
勃郎宁夫人的自谦自守,倒是很类似中国传统女性的德行。
如果说《虽然我年轻无辩》和《在死后我爱你将更加情深》还是借用死亡
的生命终极含意来比喻爱情的深厚,那么罗赛蒂的《歌》,则是一种神秘主义
情调的展现,而很难说作者表达了什么:
歌
克里斯蒂娜。罗赛蒂
在我死了以后,亲爱的,
不要为我唱哀歌;
不要在我头上栽种玫瑰,
也不要栽种成荫的松柏;
但愿你成为雨露滋润的绿草,
铺盖着我坟墓上的山坡。
如你愿意就怀念我,
如你愿意就忘记我!
我将看不见松柏玫瑰,
也感觉不到草地洒满了雨水;
我将听不到夜莺的啼唱,
彻夜诉说心中等苦悲。
我住在不生不灭的混沌世界,
没有黑夜,也没有日出的光辉。
也许我偶然想起谁,
也许我偶然忘了谁!
Song
Christina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thouwilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
据说,罗赛蒂这位英国拉裴尔前派诗人,常在梳妆台前写诗,追求精神世
界的纯粹和自我克制。这首著名的诗歌,确实如此。诗人的思绪似乎化作一个
灵魂,象在对爱人述说,又象是自言自语。既不要哀歌,玫瑰,松柏成荫,又
盼望绿草雨露。怀念与忘记,想起与遗忘,都似乎‘可有可无’。虽然此诗没
有前面两诗的精细思辩,但却用超越现世的神秘色彩表达了忧郁哀伤的情调。
这种超越现世的神秘,也很少见于中文诗歌。从坟墓或可联想到苏轼著名的江
城子:
江城子--乙卯正月二十日夜记梦 苏轼
十年生死两茫茫,不思量,自难忘。
千里孤坟,无处话凄凉。纵使相逢应不识,
尘满面,鬓如霜。
夜来幽梦忽还乡,小轩窗,正梳妆。
相顾无言,惟有泪千行。料得年年短肠处,
明月夜,短松岗。
也是生死,孤坟和断肠的情爱,这里是诗人切身的现世感受,‘超越’也
只是基于生活的梦境。这也是中英诗歌传统的一个区别。如同抽象概念一样,
英文文化中有另世的神秘主义世界,而中国传统儒家文化则是现世文化。而且,
英文诗歌作者,有许多是‘职业’诗人,以写诗为生。而中国古代诗人,写诗
多为功名举试的训练。即使有归隐山林,那也是功名无望的退避,并非自由的
纯粹诗人。因此,中国诗人的作品,多与现实生活密切相关,而少跳出尘世的,
无所具体对象情景的纯内心感念或神秘主义心态的表达。
似的爱与死亡,现世与另世的描写,还可以举一首英文诗歌:
爱的乐园
威廉姆.布莱克
我曾访问爱的乐园,
目睹了我前所未见:
殡仪馆矗立其中,
那里是我曾嘻戏的草地。
而殡仪馆的大门紧闭,
门上大书‘行人止步’;
我只好转向爱的乐园,
那里曾有无数美丽鲜花开放,
映入眼帘的却是遍地坟茔,
墓碑取代了鲜花林立:
黑袍牧师们蜿蜒绕行,
用荆棘捆绑着我的欢乐和欲望。
The Garden of Love
William Blake
I went to the Garden of love,
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And "Thou shalt not" writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore,
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys & desires.
爱的乐园里,青草地上建起了大门紧闭的殡仪馆,花朵盛开的地方,堆满
了坟茔和墓碑……爱与死亡似乎只是一个恍忽,一个梦,一个意念的区别。这
种将爱情和死亡做为两个抽象的生命象征联系起来,令人想起精神分析关于爱
情和死亡的分析。
精神分析大师之一的佛罗姆,将爱情看做是人类克服成长过程中个体独立
带来的分离,孤独,隔膜的一个必然。爱使人与人回归结合,重新融为一体。
而另一位弗罗伊德的早期追随者,OTTO RANK则认为死亡是人逃避出
生与母体的分离的创伤,而企望回归母体的安宁,统一的本能。如此看来,因
爱而死,无论是一种情感的表达,或是理智的决断,或是实际的行动,则可以
看做是两种本能的殊途同归,一举两得。人因失去爱而分离,因生而分离,又
因爱而回归,由死亡而回归。那么,因爱而死亡,当是一种最彻底,最丰富的
回归。
诗人RICHARD CRASHAW有诗云:
“爱,你是生与死的至高无上的唯一君主。”
"Love, thou art absolute sole Lord of life and death."

一首战场上不知名的英文爱情诗歌
The life that I have is
all that I have
And the life that I have is yours
The love that I have of the
life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
The sleep I shall have
The rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years in
the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours

文爱情小诗
3961 1-18
If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day until eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
again I would spend them with you
如果我能把时间存入一个瓶子,
我要作的第一件事就是,
把每一天都存下来直到永恒,
再和你一起慢慢度过。
如果我能把时间化作永恒,
如果我的愿望能一一成真,
我会把每天都像宝贝一样存起来,
再和你一起慢慢度过。
Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad
Loving me when I'm mad
Picking me up when I'm down
Thank you for being my friend and being around
Teaching me the meaning of love
Encouraging me when I need a shove
But most of all thank you for
Loving me for who I am
感谢你在我伤心时安慰我,
当我生气时你护著我,
当我沮丧时你拉拔我。
感谢你作我的朋友并且在我身旁,
教导我爱的意义是什么,
当我需要动力时你鼓励我。
但我最想感谢你的是,
爱上像我这样的一个人。
Love is more than a word,
It says so much.
When I see these four letters,
I almost feel your touch.
This only happened since
I fell in love with you.
Why this word does this,
I haven't got a clue.
Love 不单是一个字,
它还代表了许多意涵,
当我看到这四个字母时,
我几乎能感受到你内心的感动。
但是这只发生在,
我爱上你之后,
为何这个字有如此的魔力,
我也搞不清楚。
You're always there for me
When things tend to go wrong
It's that faith you have in me
That makes our love strong
当我需要你时你永远在那里,
就算是我犯了错误也没关系,
是你对我坚定的信心,
让我们的爱更加茁壮。
Sweetheart,
My thoughts are deep into you
From the moment that I wake up
And to the whole day through
Happy Valentine's Day
亲爱的,
我深深地想念著你,
从我每天早上起来的那一刻起,
每一分每一秒直到一天结束。
情人节快乐!
Thank you for standing behind me
In all that I do
I hope you're as happy with me
As I am with you
感谢你永远支持我,
不论我作了些什么,
我希望你跟我在一起永远开心,
就像我跟你在一起时那么地快乐。
It's your loving and your caring
And knowing that you're near
That gentle touch you have
Make my troubles disappear
是你的爱意和呵护,
知道你就在我的身边,
还有你的温柔和体贴,
让我所有的麻烦全部不见
My love is like the grasses
Hidden in the deep mountains.
Though its abundance increase,
There is none that knows.
我的爱情
犹如青草,藏在深山。
它郁郁葱葱,却无人知晓。
I have been sleeping all alone,
You have been staring in my dreams.
I want to kiss you, my baby,
I want to kiss you tonight.
我一直孤独入眠,
睡梦中你出现在我的眼前,
我要亲吻你,
我的爱人,
今夜我就要亲吻你。
My love,
You are like a flower,
So sweet and pure and fair.
我的爱人,
你就像一朵鲜花,
那么甜蜜、纯洁而秀雅。
I just can't believe
the loveliness of loving you.
I just can't believe
the one to love this feeling, too.
I now know how sweet a kiss could be.
Like the summer sunshine,
Your sweetness over me.
我简直不敢相信,
爱你是如此地美好。
我不敢相信你也有如此感觉。
我现在才明白吻原是那么甜蜜,
就像夏日的阳光, 包含着你对我的柔情蜜意。
shall do one thing in this life,
One thing certain, that is:
Love you, Long for you,
And keep wanting you till I die.
我这一生要做的一件事情,
绝对要做的一件事情,那就是:
爱你,想你,追求你,直到死。
Forgive me for needing you in my life;
Forgive me for enjoying the beauty of your body and soul;
Forgive me for wanting to be with you when I grow old.
原谅我生活中不能没有你;
原谅我欣赏你躯体和心灵的美丽;
原谅我希望永生永世和你在一起。
Oh, my love, my darling,
I have hungered for you touch a long time.
And time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
哦!我的爱,亲爱的,
我渴望你的抚摸已经好久了。
而时光难熬,
它能改变许多事,
你还是我的吗?
我需要你的爱。
愿上帝赐给我你的爱。
I love to be the one you always think of,
The one you share the joys and hardships with,
I'll always love to be the one you love.
我多想做你时刻思念的人,
你倾诉梦想的人,
与你同甘共苦的人,
我总想做你所爱的人。
My eyes are the stars over your window,
Gazing affectionately at you every night.
我的目光就是你窗前的星星,
每夜都在深情地注视着你。
Let us use it while we may
Snatch those joys that haste away!
Earth her winter coat may cast,
And renew her beeauty past:
But, our winter come, in vain
We solicit spring again;
And when our furrows snow shall cover,
Love may return but never lover.
趁现在可能,我们用用它,
把匆匆逝去的欢乐抓紧!
大地上会撒下它的冬衣,
然后又恢复过去的美丽,
但是当我们的冬天来临,
我们求春天回来可不行;
当白雪盖住我们额头的皱纹,
爱可能回来,但爱人决不可能。
Without you?
I'd be a soul without a purpose.
Without you?
I'd be an emotion without a heart.
I'm a face without expression,
A heart with no beat.
Without you by my side,
I'm just a flame without the heat.
没有你?
我将是一个没有目的的灵魂;
没有你?
我的情感将没有了根基;
我将是一张没有表情的脸;
一颗停止跳动的心;
没有你在我身边;
我只是一束没有热量的火焰。
If you were a teardrop;
In my eye,
For fear of losing you,
I would never cry.
And if the golden sun,
Should cease to shine its light,
Just one smile from you,
Would make my whole world bright.
如果你是我眼里的一滴泪;
为了不失去你;
我将永不哭泣;
如果金色的阳光;
停止了它耀眼的光芒;
你的一个微笑;
Love me little,
love me long!
爱不贵亲密,
贵长久。

TOP10。Now,let‘s go!
(1)<This I promise you> N'Sync
这是我最喜欢的一首歌,我认为里面的每句歌词都是经典。
When visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Is standing here all alone...
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
Ooh.. I promise you..
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all……
(2)<As long as you love me> Backstreet Boys
只要两人真心相爱,还有什么需要在乎?!
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me……
(3)<Never Gone> Backstreet Boys
虽然这不是一首情歌,但那感人至深的亲情,同样包含了爱情的真谛。
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone……
(4)<Listen to my heart> Gareth Gates
小葛的声音是那么温柔,仿佛春风般吹进心中。
Listen to my heart beat for you
Telling you that I adore you
If you wanna know how much I feel inside
Listen to my heart come closer
Let me wrap my arms around you
There's nothing I can do
I'm so in love with you
Just listen to my heart……
(5)<One and ever love> Gareth Gates
这唯一的爱,代表着那颗只为你而跳动的心。
and meanwhile I磍l be here
and I pray to god above
that someday you might learn again
its you I磎 dreaming of
and meanwhile I磍l be here
and I pray to god above
that someday you might turn again to me
your one and ever love……
(6)<Do I have to cry for you> Nick Carter
那男人味十足的沧桑嗓音,唱出了爱人心中无尽的爱。
Tell me what I gotta be
Tell me what you wanna do
'Cause I can't live my life the way you want me to
You know I can't go on living like we do
Do I have to cry for you, do I have to cry for you……
(7)<I'm all about you> Aaron Carter
如果说哥哥Nick唱的是大人的爱,那么Aaron就是在唱自己这个青春少年。
Talkin to you on my cell
Just the sound of your voice
Makes my heart melt
Oh girl, well it's true
I'm all about you
I'm all about us…
…When i close my eyes i can see you
It's like your right here
And this feeling's only gettin' stronger
You're with me everywhere
(8)<You make me wanne> Blue
激情四射的爱恋,如烈酒般让人迷醉。
You make me wanna call you in the middle of the night.
You make me wanna hold you till the morning light.
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall.
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
I know this is a feeling that I just can't fight.
You're the first and last thing on my mind.
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall.
You make me wanna surrender my soul.
(9)<In this life> Westlife
在这一生里,只为你留着那份爱。
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's not worse going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered have come true
In this life
I was loved by you.
(10)<My love> Westlife
也许这是我会唱的第一首英文歌,很好听。因为那是为爱而执著的声音,
I wonder how I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
And oh! my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love
That seems so far
So I say a litter prayer
And hope my dream will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you
once again my love
Overseas from coast to coast
Find a place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
My love
这10首歌都是我很喜欢的歌,如果大家感兴趣的话不妨找来听听,那优美的歌声不知能否触动你那颗懵懂的心~~

爱情故事英文歌词
2792 1-18
where do i begin
to tell the story of how great a love ca
n be?
the sweet love story that is older than
the sea.
the simple truth about the love she brin
gs to me,
where do i start?
with her first hello,
she gave a meaning to this empty world o
f mine.
there'll never be another love, another
time.
she came into my life and made the livin
g fine.
she fills my heart.
she fills my heart
with very special things.
with angel's souls, with wild imaginings
.
she fills my soul with so much love.
that anywhere i go,
i'm never lonely.
with her along, who could be lonely?
i reach for her hand.
it's always there.
how long does it last?
can love be measured by the hours in a d
ay?
i have no answers now, but this much i c
an say.
i know i'll need her til the stars all b
urn away
and she'll be there.
how long does it last?
Love's Witness
Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
By every common Wind into the Air;
Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born,
And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:
Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
According to the Caprice of the Mind.
But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,
Substantial Records to Eternity;
Just Evidences,who the Truth confess,
On which the Lover safely may rely;
They're serious Thoughts,digested and resolv'd;
And last,when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.
不加思索的轻率话语,
被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气;
随便说说,刚出口即消失,
一瞬间给人希望和恐惧:
同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠,
追随心灵无常的遐想。
但情书则是恒常的见证,
直至永恒的实体记录;
公道的证物,它道出真诚,
恋人能在其上安心依附;
它们是严肃的思想,经过深思熟虑;
当话语在云外消失,它们还将延续。
英语爱情诗歌
as i stand here today with the world as my witness,
I pledge to you my undying and everlasting love.
I will stand beside you as your partner,
I will stand before you as your protector,
and i will stand behind you as your solace.
please spend and end your life with me.
for, you see, each day i love you more,
today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow
your lips speak soft sweetness
your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
my heart beats within your chest
I think of you each morning
and dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
and cannot express my delight
never have i fallen
but i am quickly on my way
you hold a heart in your hands
that has never before been given away
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.
love is ...
love is the greatest feeling,
love is like a play,
love is what i feel for you,
each and every day,
love is like a smile,
love is like a song,
love is a great emotion,
that keeps us going strong,
i love you with my heart,
my body and my soul,
i love the way i keep loving,
like a love i can\'t control,
so remember when your eyes meet mine,
i love you with all my heart,
and i have poured my entire soul into you,
right from the very start.
my love
my love is like an ocean
it goes down so deep
my love is like a rose
whose beauty you want to keep.
my love is like a river
that will never end
my love is like a dove
with a beautiful message to send.
my love is like a song
that goes on and on forever
my love is like a prisoner
it's to you that i surrender.
诗歌选读:爱情太短,遗忘太长(中英)
诗歌选读:爱情太短,遗忘太长(中英)
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write,for example,'the night is starry
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance'.
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her,and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me,sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her.
To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night,still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her,
the night is starry and she is not with me.
This is all.
In the distance someone is singing.In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer.
My heart looks for her,and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We,of that time,are no longer the same.
I no longer love her,that's certain,but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's.She will be another's.As she was before my kisses.
Her voice,her bright body.Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her,that's certain,but maybe I love her.
Love is so short,forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
今夜我可以写
今夜我可以写下最哀伤的诗句。
写,譬如,“夜镶满群星,
而星星遥远地发出蓝光并且颤抖“。
夜风在天空中回旋并低唱。
今夜我可以写下最哀伤的诗句。
我爱她,而且有时她也爱我。
如同今晚的夜,我曾拥她入怀,
在无尽的天空下一遍又一遍地吻她。
她爱我,有时我也爱她。
怎会不爱上她那沉静的双眼?
今夜我可以写下最哀伤的诗句。
去想我并不拥用她,感觉我已失去她。
去聆听广阔的夜,因没有她而更加广阔。
诗句坠入我的灵魂,如同露水落在牧草上。
我的爱若不能拥有她又会怎样?
群星满夜
而她不在我身边。
这就是一切了。
远处有人在唱着歌。
那么远。
我的空虚因为没有她。
我的目光搜寻她,想要把她拉近;
我的心寻找她
而她并没有和我在一起。
相同的夜让相同的树木泛白。
彼时,我们也不再相似如初。
我不再爱她,这是确定的,但我曾多爱她。
我的声音试着循风来抚摸她的听觉。
别人的
如同她曾接受的我的千吻,
她的声音,她洁白的身体,她无尽的双眼,
她将会是别人的。
我不再爱她,这是确定的,但也许我还爱她。
爱情太短,遗忘太长。
借着如同今晚的夜,我曾拥她入怀
我的灵魂因失去了她而失落。
这是她最后一次让我承受的伤痛
而这些,便是我为她而写的最后的诗句。
一首精典的爱情诗歌“ALL ABOUT
991 1-17
To My Friends Who Are........... SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly,
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you,
But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least
expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts,
but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really
worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.
To My Friends Who Are............ NOT SO SINGLE
Love isn't about becoming somebody else's" perfect person."
It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person
you can be.
To My Friends Who Are............ PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE
Never say "I love you" if you don't care.
Never talk about feelings if they aren't there.
Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart.
Never look in the eye when all you do is lie.
The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in
love
when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works both ways...
To My Friends Who Are............ MARRIED
Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry"
not "where are you', but "I'm right here" not "how
could you", but "I understand" not "I wish
you were",
but "I'm thankful you are."
To My Friends Who Are............ ENGAGED
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together
but
how good you are for each other.
To My Friends Who Are............ HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long! as you want and cut as deep as you allow
them to go.
The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from
them
To My Friends Who Are............ NAIVE
How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble,
be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair,
understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.
To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone
else,
but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy
with you.
To My Friends Who Are............ AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you.
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how
you feel.
To My Friends Who Are............ STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love
only to
find out in the end that it was never meant to be,
and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it.
If he isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year
or 10 years from now.
Let go.....
TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......
My wish for you is a man/women who's love is honest, strong, mature,
never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding
and unselfish.
It is my feeling below.There may be something incorrect.thanks.
To My Friends Who Are............ MARRIED
Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry"
not "where are you', but "I'm right here" not "how
could you", but "I understand" not "I wish
you were",
but "I'm thankful you are."
送给已婚的朋友
不要把错误推给对方,而主动承认都是我的错;
不要让爱人四处找你(尤其是晚上),我们天天在一起;
不要总说“你怎么能这样!”而要理解他或她做的一切;
不要沉浸于无法实现的美妙理想中,而要感谢我们已拥有的世界!
To My Friends Who Are............ HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long! as you want and cut as deep as you allow
them to go.
The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from
them
送给因爱而受伤的朋友
这种伤的确会持续很长很久,但一旦抽刀断水就要任其而去,
失去爱的伤痛怎能靠施舍和弥补,而要彻底舍弃它,从中得到启迪!
To My Friends Who Are............ NAIVE
How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble,
be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair,
understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.
送给初涉爱情的朋友
爱是什么?是全身心的投入,不可再妞妞捏捏的;
一个人是per-sistent,两个人con-sistent才会顺理成章,和谐美满;
学会分享,虽然不是做买卖但公平在哪里都适用;
理解胜过索取;
爱的路上会有些许伤害,但不要留下任何的痛!
To My Friends Who Are............ AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you.
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how
you feel.
送给不敢承认爱已不复存在的朋友
你和对方吹了是一种伤害;
对方和你吹了你会感到是更严重的伤害;
但如果你爱的人对你一点感觉都没有了,那才是天下最可悲的事呀!
To My Friends Who Are............ STILL HOLDING ON
If he isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year or
10 years from now.
送给硬挺着的朋友
如果现在都不值得保留,何必要等到一年或十年以后哪?
TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......
My wish for you is a man/women who's love is honest, strong, mature,
never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding
and unselfish.
诚实,坚强(如果失去了爱,要学会),成熟,不善变,激情,相互保护、鼓励、给予和无私。
The last rose of summer夏日最后的玫瑰
Left blooming alone;独自绽放着;
All her lovely companions所有昔日动人的同伴
Are faded and gone;都已凋落残逝;
No flower of her kindred,身旁没有同类的花朵,
No rose-bud is nigh,没有半个玫瑰苞,
to reflect back her blushes,映衬她的红润,
Or give sigh for sigh.分担她的忧愁。
I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one!我不会离开弧零零的妳!
To pine on the stem;让妳单独地憔悴;
Since the lovely are sleeping,既然美丽的同伴都已入眠,
Go, sleep thou with them.去吧!妳也和她们一起躺着。
thus kindly I scatter为此,我好心在散放
Thy leaves o’er the bed妳的丽叶在花床上
Where thy mates of the garden那儿,也是妳花园的同伴
Lie scentless and dead.无声无息躺着的地方。
Soon may I follow,不久我也可能追随我朋友而去,
When friendships decay,当友谊渐逝,
And from Love’s shining circle像从灿烂之爱情圈中
The gems drop away.掉落的宝石。
When true hearts lie withered,当忠诚的友人远去,
And fond ones are flown,所爱的人飞走,
O! who would inhabit啊!谁还愿留在
This bleak world alone?这荒冷的世上独自凄凉?
Love is More Thicker than Forget
by E.E. Cummings
Love is more thicker than forget
More thinner than recall
More seldom than a wave is wet
More frequent than to fail
It is most mad and moonly
And less it shall unbe
Than all the sea which only
Is deeper than the sea
Love is less always than to win
Less never than alive
Less bigger than the least begin
Less littler than forgive
It is most sane and sunly
And more it cannot die
Than all the sky which only
Is higher than the sky
爱情比忘却厚
比回忆薄
比潮湿的波浪少
比失败多
它最痴癫最疯狂
但比起所有
比海洋更深的海洋
它更为长久
爱情总比胜利少见
却比活着多些
不大于无法开始
不小于谅解
他最明朗最清晰
而比起所有
比天空更高的天空
他更为不朽
再别康桥中英文对照欣赏
1028 1-17
Very quietly I take my leave,
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave goodbye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young bridges in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water,
In the gentle waves of Cambridge,
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duck weeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream.
To seek a dream?
Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat
fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud:
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer in sects keep silence for me;
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave,
As quietly as I came here;
Cently I flick my sleeves,
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.
再别康桥
轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳,
是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,
在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇,
油油的在水底招摇;
在康桥的柔波里,
我甘做一条水草!
那榆荫下的一潭,
不是清泉,是天上虹;
揉碎在浮藻间,
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙,
向青草更青处漫溯;
满载一船星辉,
在星辉斓里放歌。
但是我不能放歌,
悄悄是别离的笙萧;
夏虫也为我沉默,
沉默是今晚的康桥!
悄悄我走了,
正如我悄悄的来;
我挥一挥衣袖,
不带走一片云彩。

Our first times
445 1-17
Our first times are the ones I remember the most...
The first time we met
The first time we talked
The first time you called and we went out
The first time that we were separated and I told you I'd miss you
The first time I cried when you were gone
The first time you told me that you loved me
The first time I said "I love you" and the time that we
first loved
The first time I met your family and friends
The first time that you met mine and
The first time I knew that our love was going to last...
Between us
There have been many first times
And I remember each and every one
But the time I remember most often...
Is the first time
I fell in love with you
Are you afraid of my love?
481 1-17
—by Nancy Sue Krenrich
Are you afraid of my love?
... do not be frightened.
My love will not bind you.
It will bring warmth
when you are cold,
and companionship when you are lonely.
My love will bring smiles
to brighten all your days,
and understanding when you are sad.
It will not obligate you...
For my love will trust you always.
Notefrightened: adj. 受惊的 companionship: n. 友谊 obligate: vt.使负义务
My love will give you all these things,
Asking only that
Wherever you go
And whatever you do,
You will hold me in your heart,
Knowing that when you return
I will be here...
To make you happy.
Steps To Happiness
passba.com 484 1-17
Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.
每个人都知道:
你无法为每个人办到每件事。
你无法立刻完成所有的事。
你无法把所有的事都做的尽善尽美。
你无法把每件事都做的比别人好,
你只是和其他人一样。
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of "being you".
所以:
你要找到你是谁,做好自己。
你要决定什么是要先去做的。
你要发现自己的优点,并好好的利用。
你要学会不与其他人竞争。
因为没有人是你的对手。
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.
接下来:
你要学着认识到自己的独一无二。
你要学习设置优先权并做决策。
你要接受生活的局限性。
你要学会适当尊重自己。
你将成为最重要的。
Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
勇敢的相信:
你是个完美的,独一无二的人。
你创造了百年不遇的历史事件。
这是你的责任更胜过于你的权利。
生活不是一个需要解决的麻烦,而是一份需要珍惜的礼物。
勇敢的生活你将会得到你想拥有的一切。
吻原来那么甜美
passba.com 492 1-17
I just can't believe
the loveliness of loving you.
I just can't believe
the one to love this feeling, too.
I now know how sweet a kiss could be.
Like the summer sunshine,
Your sweetness over me.
我简直不敢相信,
爱你是如此地美好。
我不敢相信你也有如此感觉。
我现在才明白吻原是那么甜蜜,
就像夏日的阳光, 包含着你对我的柔情蜜意。
今晚我要吻你

I have been sleeping all alone,
You have been staring in my dreams.
I want to kiss you, my baby,
I want to kiss you tonight.
我一直孤独入眠,
睡梦中你出现在我的眼前,
我要亲吻你,
我的爱人,
今夜我就要亲吻你。
