When we two parted

昔日依依別

In silence and tears,

淚流默無言;

Half broken-hearted

離恨肝腸斷，

To sever for years,

此別又幾年。

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

冷頰何慘然，

Colder thy kiss;

一吻寒更添;

Truly that hour foretold

日后傷心事，

Sorrow to this!

此刻已預言。

The dew of the morning

朝起寒露重，

Sunk chill on my brown

凜冽凝眉間

It felt like the warning

彼時已預告：

Of what I feel now.

悲傷在今天。

The vows are all broken,

山盟今安在?

And light is the fame:

汝名何輕賤!

I hear the name spoken,

吾聞汝名傳，

And share in its shame.

羞愧在人前。

They name thee before me,

聞汝名聲惡，

A knell to mine ear;

猶如聽喪鐘。

A shudder comes o’er me-

不禁心怵惕--

Why wert thou so dear?

往昔情太濃。

They know not I knew thee

誰知舊日情，

Who knew thee too well:

斯人知太深。

long, long shall I rue thee,

綿綿長懷恨，

Too deeply to tell.

盡在不言中，

In secret we met-

昔日喜幽會，

In silence I grieve,

今朝恨無聲。

That the heart could forget,

舊情汝已忘，

The spirit deceive.

疾心遇薄幸。

If I should meet thee

多年離別后，

After ling year,

抑或再相逢，

How should I greet thee?

相逢何所語?

With silence and tears.

淚流默無聲。
