Unending Love

By Rabindranath Tagore

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,

That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age-old pain,

It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.

As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,

Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:

You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.

At the heart of time, love of one for another.

We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same

Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you

The love of all man’s days both past and forever:

Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.

The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –

And the songs of every poet past and forever.

愛無止境

泰戈爾

我好像曾經(jīng)愛過你無數(shù)次，無數(shù)種方式.

年復(fù)年，今生復(fù)來生，永恒的。

我癡迷的心正再次為你打造那串美妙音韻的項鏈。

那是送你的禮物，可以隨意掛在你的脖子上。

年復(fù)年，今生復(fù)來生，永恒的。

當(dāng)我聽著那熟悉的愛情故事，那是歲月的傷口，

那是關(guān)於分離或相遇的古老傳說。

當(dāng)我再次凝望著過去時，在最后定能發(fā)現(xiàn)你，

北極星那明亮的衣裳，正照耀在時空的暗房。

你已永遠(yuǎn)變成記憶深處的形像。

你與我漂浮在河流之上，正因為我們都來自相同的源泉。

聽聽時間在訴說著各樣愛的故事。

我們曾經(jīng)與萬千戀人們擦肩而過，

分享著初相遇時羞澀的甜蜜，再見時不舍的淚花 --

但是愛情總會再次復(fù)活，永恒復(fù)活。

今天又堆積在你腳下，那已不能再給你任何感覺了，

所有人的愛情都已成為過去與永恒：

宇宙的歡樂，悲傷，與生命，

所有愛情的回憶將會結(jié)合為一體-

還有每一個詩人們的歌謠也已成為過去與永恒。
