給我愛的人--伊絲拉．李察森


If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love
To go along the silent way. . .
Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me
As if I were beside you there.

(I'd come. . .I'd come,
Could I but find a way!
But would not tears and
And grief be barriers?)

And when you hear a song
Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me
Be sad. . .for I am loving you
Just as I always have. . .

You were so good to me!
There are so many things
I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say
to you. . . Remember that
I did not fear. . . It was
Just leaving you
That was so hard to face.

We cannot see beyond. . .
But this I know:
I loved you so. . .
'twas heaven here with you!

如果我要永遠離開
我所愛的你，
去走一條寂靜長路……\n
不要悲傷，
也不要含淚話別，
而是要高聲談笑，
彷佛我就陪在你身旁。

我就要來了，我就要來了，
只要我找到了路，
但是眼淚和悲傷\n不就是最大的路障？
如果你聽見我愛唱的一首歌，
或是看見一隻我鍾愛的鳥，
請不要哀傷地想起我，
因為我還是一如往昔地愛著你。

你對我是這麼地好，
還有好多事情想要做，
還有好多話想對你說，
要記住，我一點都不害怕，
只有離開你，是我最難面對的事。

我看不到未來，
我只知道：
我是這麼愛你，
和你在一起就宛如在天堂！
