当那女孩站立此处，我怎能

How can I, that girl standing there,

将思绪与

My attention fix

罗马或俄罗斯

On Roman or on Russian

或西班牙的政局混同。

Or on Spanish politics,

那儿虽有一位旅行者熟稔

Yet there's a travelled man that knows

他所讲的故事

What he talks about,

还有一位政治家

And there's a politician

也曾饱读深思

That has read and thought,

或许他们所言不虚

And maybe what they say is true

有关战争与警号，

Of war and war's alarms,

可是，噢，我只愿青春重现

But O that I were young again

将她拥入怀抱。

And held her in my arms.
