爱人，我们现在必须分手：可别让它

Love, we must part now: do not let it be

不幸而苦涩。从前

Calamitious and bitter. In the past

曾有那么多的月光和顾影自怜：

There has been too much moonlight and self-pity:

让我们作个了断吧：因为直到如今

Let us have done with it: for now at last

从来没有太阳这样豪迈的走在天空，

Never has sun more boldly paced the sky,

从来没有心儿这样渴望着自由，

Never were hearts more eager to be free,

把世界踢翻，将森林鞭打；你和我

To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and I

不再将它们死抱；我们是脱下的壳，眼瞅着

No longer hold them; we are husks, that see

谷粒投奔别样的用途。

The grain going forward to a different use.

There is regret. Always, there is regret.

有些遗憾。总会，有些遗憾。

But it is better that our lives unloose,

可那会更好，我们的生活松开了绑，

As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light,

好像两艘高桅帆船，由风掌控，湿湿的闪着光，

Break from an estuary with their courses set,

按着它们既定的航线从一个河口扬帆启航，

And waving part, and waving drop from sight.

挥手告别，挥着手从视野中消失。
