你离开了这异邦的土地 'For Shores Of Home...'

你离开了这异邦的土地， For shores of home,so sweet but distant,

向美好而遥远的祖国海岸驶去； You were to leave the alien place;

在悲伤而难忘的时刻， The hour was sad and instant,

我在你面前泪流满面难以控制。 And tears were running on my face.

我冰冷的双手，不带什么感情， With chilly hands, with bitter passion,

竭力地想把你挽留； I vainly tried to keep you up;

这即将到来的痛苦别离， The awful pain of separation

我恳求你不要打断这一切。 I prayed you to not interrupt.

但是，你却将嘴唇儿移开， But you,from the distressing kissing,

终止了一个甜蜜的吻； Betook away your gentle lips,

你要我远离痛苦流放的生活， From lands of sad exile and missing

去另一个地方安身。 You called me for another sweeps.

你告诉我说：“期待着相逢， You told me,'In a day of meeting,

头上是永远蔚蓝的天空， Under the sky that ever blue,

在橄榄树下， In shade of olive-trees the kissing

我的朋友，我们将重温爱吻。” We shall, my friend, begin anew.'

唉，就在那里， But there, alas! where sky grew hotter

蔚蓝的天空中一片光明， And bluer in a sunny beam,

橄榄树影子倒映水面， Where olive-trees cast shade on water,

你却长眠在梦里。 You lay asleep with your last dream.

你的美貌，你的痛苦， Your beauty, suffering, your anguish

全部消失在墓穴之中， Had vanished in the gravest urn;

连同那相见时的拥吻…… With them, the promised kiss had vanished...

可是我在等待；你曾答应…… Still I am waiting for your turn...
