我曾经爱过你

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.

我曾经爱过你；

爱情，也许，

在我的心灵里还没有完全消失；

但愿它不会再去打扰你；

我也不想再使你难过悲伤。

我曾经默默无语地，毫无指望的爱过你，

我既忍着羞怯，又忍受着妒忌的折磨；

我曾经那样真诚，那样温柔的爱过你

但愿上帝保佑你，另一个人也会像我一样爱你。
