Love Is Cruel, Love Is Sweet
[爱尔兰]托马斯·麦克多纳
Thomas MacDonagh
爱是残酷的,也是甜蜜的
痛苦而甜美,
恋人叹息待相见,
哀叹,相见,
哀叹,相见,又哀叹
甜中有苦!苦中有甜!
爱是盲目的,也是狡黠的,
盲目而狡黠。
大胆的想法,羞涩的言谈,
大胆而羞涩,
大胆,羞涩,再大胆,
胆大则甜蜜,羞涩则痛苦。
Love is cruel, love is sweet,—
Cruel and sweet,
Lovers sigh till lovers meet,
Sigh and meet—
Sigh and meet, and sigh again—
Cruel sweet!O sweet pain!
Love is blind—but love is sly,
Blind and sly.
Thoughts are bold, words are shy—
Bold and shy—
Bold and shy, and bold again—
Sweet is boldness,—shyness pain.
