《When You Are Old 》
When you are old and gray and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep；
How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true；
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead, And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
当你老了 （叶芝）
当你老了，白发苍苍，睡思昏沉，
在炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和
回想它们过去的浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候
出于假意或真心地爱慕你的美貌，
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你老去的容颜的痛苦的皱纹。
躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，
凄然地低语，爱为何消逝，
在头顶的山上，它缓缓踱着步子，
将脸隐没在群星之中。
-------------------- 世事沧桑话鸣鸟
作者：〔美国〕罗伯特·潘·沃伦
那只是一只鸟在晚上鸣叫，认不出是什么鸟，
当我从泉边取水回来，走过满是石头的牧场，
我站得那么静，头上的天空和水桶里的天空一样静。
多少年过去，多少地方多少脸都淡漠了，有的人已谢世，
而我站在远方，夜那么静，我终于肯定
我最怀念的，不是那些终将消逝的东西，
而是鸟鸣时那种宁静。
世界上最远的距离 泰戈尔
世界上最远的距离
不是 生与死的距离
而是 我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是 我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你
而是 爱到痴迷
却不能说我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是 我不能说我爱你
而是 想你痛彻心脾
却只能深埋心底
世界上最远的距离
不是 我不能说我想你
而是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起
世界上最远的距离
不是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起
而是明知道真爱无敌
却装作毫不在意
世界上最远的距离
不是 树与树的距离
而是 同根生长的树枝
却无法在风中相依
世界上最远的距离
不是 树枝无法相依
而是 相互了望的星星
却没有交汇的轨迹
世界上最远的距离
不是 星星之间的轨迹
而是 纵然轨迹交汇
却在转瞬间无处寻觅
世界上最远的距离
不是 瞬间便无处寻觅
而是 尚未相遇
便注定无法相聚
世界上最远的距离
是鱼与飞鸟的距离
一个在天,一个却深潜海底
《The most distant way in the world 》
The most distant way in the world is not the way from birth to the end. it is when i sit near you
that you don\'t understand i love u.
The most distant way in the world is not that you\'re not sure i love u. It is when my love is bewildering the soul but i can\'t speak it out.
The most distant way in the world is not that i can\'t say i love u. it is after looking into my heart i can\'t change my love.
The most distant way in the world is not that i\'m loving u. it is in our love
we are keeping between the distance.
The most distant way in the world is not the distance acro us.
it is when we\'re breaking through the way we deny the existance of love.
So the most distant way in the world is not in two distant trees. it is the same rooted branches can\'t enjoy the co-existance.
So the most distant way in the world is not in the being sepearated branches. it is in the blinking stars they can\'t burn the light.
So the most distant way in the world is not the burning stars.
it is after the light
they can\'t be seen from afar.
So the most distant way in the world is not the light that is fading away. it is the coincidence of us is not supposed for the love.
So the most distant way in the world is the love between the fish and bird. one is flying at the sky,
the other is looking upon into the sea.世界上最远的距离——泰戈尔
世界上最远的距离 不是生与死的距离而是我站在你的面前
你却不知道我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是我站在你的面前
你却不知道我爱你
而是爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你
世界上最远的距离 不是我不能说我爱你
而是想你痛彻心脾
却只能深埋心底
世界上最远的距离
不是我不能说我想你
而是彼此相爱
却不能够在一起
世界上最远的距离
不是彼此相爱
却不能在一起
而是明明无法抵挡这一股气息
却还得装作毫不在意
世界上最远的距离,
不是明明无法抵挡这一股气息
却还得装作毫不在意
而是用一颗冷漠的心
在你和爱你的人之间
掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
世界上最远的距离
不是树与树的距离
而是同根生长的树枝
却无法在风中相依
世界上最远的距离
不是树枝无法相依
而是相互了望的星星
却没有交汇的轨迹
世界上最远的距离
不是星星之间的轨迹
而是纵然轨迹交汇
却在转瞬间无处寻觅
世界上最远的距离 不是瞬间便无处寻觅 而是尚未相遇
便注定无法相聚
世界上最远的距离
是鱼与飞鸟的距离
一个在天空
一个却深潜海底
The furthest distance in the world The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don\'\'t know that I love you
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when i stand in front of you Yet you can\'\'t see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when plainly can not resist the yearning Yet pretnending you have never been in my heart The furthest distance in the world
Is not pretnending you have never been in my heart But using one\'\'s indifferent heart To sig an uncroable river For the one who loves you
