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

爱人，我们现在必须分手：可别让它

Calamitious and bitter. In the past

不幸而苦涩。从前

There has been too much moonlight and self-pity:

曾有那么多的月光和顾影自怜：

Let us have done with it: for now at last

让我们作个了断吧：因为直到如今

Never has sun more boldly paced the sky,

从来没有太阳这样豪迈的走在天空，

Never were hearts more eager to be free,

从来没有心儿这样渴望着自由，

To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and I

把世界踢翻，将森林鞭打；你和我

No longer hold them; we are husks, that see

不再将它们死抱；我们是脱下的壳，眼瞅着

The grain going forward to a different use.

谷粒投奔别样的用途。

There is regret. Always, there is regret.

But it is better that our lives unloose,

有些遗憾。总会，有些遗憾。

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

可那会更好，我们的生活松开了绑，

Break from an estuary with their courses set,

好像两艘高桅帆船，由风掌控，湿湿的闪着光，

And waving part, and waving drop from sight.

按着它们既定的航线从一个河口扬帆启航，

挥手告别，挥着手从视野中消失。
