40

An unbelieving smile flits on your eyes when I come to you to take my leave.

I have done it so often that you think I will soon return.

To tell you the truth I have the same doubt in my mind.

For the spring days come again time after time; the full moon takes leave and comes on another visit, the flower come again and blush upon their branches year after year, and it is likely that I take my leave only to come to you again.

But keep the illusion awhile; do not send it away with ungentle haste.

When I say I leave you for all time, accept it as true, and let a mist of tears for one moment deepen the dark rim of your eyes.

Then smile as archly as you like when I come again.

當我來向你告別的時候，一個懷疑的微笑在你眼中閃爍。

我這樣做的次數太多了，以至于你認為我很快又會回來的。

說實話，我自己心里也有相同的疑問。

由于春天年年到來，滿月離別后又來到，花兒每年都會在枝上紅暈著臉，很可能我來向你告別只為了要再回到你身邊。

然而讓這幻想停留一會兒吧，不要粗暴匆忙地攆走它。

當我說要永遠離開你的時候，就當作事實來接受吧，讓淚霧暫時加深你眼邊的黑影吧。

當我再回來的時候，隨便你怎樣嘲笑吧。
