I Loved You

Alexander Pushkin

I loved you; and perhaps I love you still,

The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; yet

It burns so quietly within my soul,

No longer should you feel distressed by it.

Silently and hopelessly I loved you,

At times too jealous and at times too shy.

God grant you find another who will love you

As tenderly and truthfully as I.

-- Alexander Pushkin. I Loved You.

我曾經(jīng)愛過你

愛情，

也許在我的心靈里還沒有完全消亡;

但愿它不會再打擾你;

我也不想再使你難過悲傷。

我曾經(jīng)默默無語毫無指望地愛過你，

我既忍受羞怯，

又忍受著嫉妒的折磨;

我曾經(jīng)那樣真誠那樣溫柔地愛過你，

但愿上帝保佑你，

另一個人也會像我一樣愛你。
