樓梯上傳來他的腳步聲嗎？

我是否聽見他在把門輕敲？

我很厭倦，幾乎不再關心，

不過我寧愿他再次來到。

我聽見的是嘲弄我的風兒，

那寒冷的風比他更加無情；

是風在敲響我的房門，

而他永遠不會再敲或走進來。[1]

Rispetto

Was that his step that sounded on the stair?

Was that his knock I heard upon the door?

I grow so tired I almost cease to care,

And yet I would that he might come once more.

It was the wind I heard,that mock s at me,

The bitter wind that is more cruel than he;

It was the wind that knocked upon the door,

But he will never knock nor enter more.

注釋

[1]雖然失戀了，但并不完全放棄他，還期盼他到來，即使“那寒冷的風比他更加無情”。愛就是這么特別。但最終“他永遠不會再敲或走進”，于是就尊重吧。原文標題為意大利語“Rispetto”，有譯為“聽命”、“認命”等的。
