If You Forget Me 如果你忘了我

If You Forget Me 如果你忘了我
Pablo Neruda　作者: 帕布罗.聂鲁达
I want you to know one thing　希望你知道
You know how this is　这是我的想法
If I look at the crystal moon　当我凭窗凝望
at the red branch　姗姗而来的秋日
of the slow autumn at my window　 红枝上的明月
If I touch near the fire　当我轻触火堆旁
the impalpable ash,　似有似无的尘烬
or the wrinkled body of the log　或是褶皱层层的木柴
Everything carries me to you　我的心儿就会飞向你
As if everything that exists　似乎一切都有了
Aromas, light, medals,　芬芳,光明和荣誉
Or little boats that sail toward　就像小舟荡向岛屿
those isles of your that wait for me,　那里, 你等候着我
Well now. If little by little　然而，假若
You stop loving me, 　你对我的爱情淡去
I shall stop loving you　我的爱火也会
Little by little.　渐渐熄灭.
If suddenly you forget me　如果瞬间你忘了我
Do not look for me　别来找我,
For I shall already have forgotten you.　因为我早已把你忘怀.
If you think it long and mad　我生命中
the wind of banners　过往的猎猎疾风
that passes through my life, 　如果你嫌弃它过于悠长,疯狂
And you decide to leave me　而决意离我而去
at the shore of the heart where I have roots, 　在我爱情所深埋的心之岸
Remember, that on that day, at that hour,　记住, 彼时彼刻,
I shall lift my arms　我将举起双臂
And my roots will set off　摇断爱的根脉,
to seek another land.　憩于他方.
But, if each day, each hour,　但是, 如果每时每刻
You feel that you are destined for me　如果你也感觉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　如果你迎向我的红唇
up to your lips to seek me,　每天绽若鲜花
Ah my love, ah my own,　啊，我的爱人, 我心里
in me all that fire is repeated, 　所有的爱火将再度燃起,
In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten　永不会消失, 永不被忘记
My love feeds on your love, beloved,　我情因你爱而生, 爱人啊
And as long as you live　情长今生,
it will be in your arms without leaving mine. 　不离你我臂弯.
