Secret Love

[英]约翰·克莱尔

John Clare

年轻时的我,将自己的爱隐藏,

无法忍受苍蝇的嗡嗡声;

我把爱隐藏起来,

直到我连光明也无法正视;

我不敢凝视她的脸庞,

而把对她的思念留在每个地方;

只要我看到一朵野花,

便会留下我的吻,亲切告别。

我和她在幽谷的最深处相遇,

浆果上布满了露珠儿;

微风轻拂着她明亮的蓝色眼睛,

蜜蜂亲吻着,唱着歌儿离去,

一束阳光在那儿找到了出口,

金色的光环围绕在她的颈部,那么美丽,

就像野蜂的歌儿那样神秘,

她在那儿躺了一个夏天。

我将爱情藏于原野和城镇,

以至于一阵风儿都能把我吹倒;

蜜蜂都唱起了歌儿,

苍蝇的亲吻压住了狮子的怒吼;

甚至沉默都找到了语言;

萦绕我整个夏天,

大自然都无法探明的秘密,

不是别的,就是秘密的爱恋。

I hid my love when young while I

Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly;

I hid my love to my despite

Till I could not bear to look at light:

I dare not gaze upon her face

But left her memory in each place;

Where'er I saw a wild flower lie

I kissed and bade my love good-bye.

I met her in the greenest dells,

Where dewdrops pearl the wood bluebells;

The lost breeze kissed her bright blue eye,

The bee kissed and went singing by,

A sunbeam found a passage there,

A gold chain round her neck so fair;

As secret as the wild bee's song

She lay there all the summer long.

I hid my love in field and town

Till e'en the breeze would knock me down;

The bees seemed singing ballads o'er,

The fly's buss turned a lion's roar;

And even silence found a tongue,
