If You Forget Me 如果你忘了我

Pablo Neruda作者: 帕布羅.聶魯達

I want you to know one thing希望你知道

You know how this is這是我的想法

If I look at the crystal moon當我憑窗凝望

at the red branch姍姍而來的秋日

of the slow autumn at my window 紅枝上的明月

If I touch near the fire當我輕觸火堆旁

the impalpable ash,似有似無的塵燼

or the wrinkled body of the log或是褶皺層層的木柴

Everything carries me to you我的心兒就會飛向你

As if everything that exists似乎一切都有了

Aromas, light, medals,芬芳,光明和榮譽

Or little boats that sail toward就像小舟蕩向島嶼

those isles of your that wait for me,那里, 你等候著我

Well now. If little by little然而，假若

You stop loving me, 你對我的愛情淡去

I shall stop loving you我的愛火也會

Little by little.漸漸熄滅.

If suddenly you forget me如果瞬間你忘了我

Do not look for me別來找我,

For I shall already have forgotten you.因為我早已把你忘懷.

If you think it long and mad我生命中

the wind of banners過往的獵獵疾風

that passes through my life, 如果你嫌棄它過于悠長,瘋狂

And you decide to leave me而決意離我而去

at the shore of the heart where I have roots, 在我愛情所深埋的心之岸

Remember, that on that day, at that hour,記住, 彼時彼刻,

I shall lift my arms我將舉起雙臂

And my roots will set off搖斷愛的根脈,

to seek another land.憩于他方.

But, if each day, each hour,但是, 如果每時每刻

You feel that you are destined for me如果你也感覺到你是我的真命天子

with implacable sweetness, 能共享奇妙的甜蜜

If each day a flower climbs如果你迎向我的紅唇

up to your lips to seek me,每天綻若鮮花

Ah my love, ah my own,啊，我的愛人, 我心里

in me all that fire is repeated, 所有的愛火將再度燃起,

In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten永不會消失, 永不被忘記

My love feeds on your love, beloved,我情因你愛而生, 愛人啊

And as long as you live情長今生,

it will be in your arms without leaving mine. 不離你我臂彎.
