When We Two PartedLord George Gordon ByronWhen we two partedIn silence and tears,Half broken-heartedTo sever for years,Pale grew thy cheek and cold,Colder thy kiss;Truly that hour foretoldSorrow to this.

The dew of the morningSunk chill on my brow—It felt like the warningOf what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,And light is thy fame:I hear thy name spoken,And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,A knell to mine ear;A shudder comes o'er me—Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,Who knew thee too well:Long, long shall I rue thee,Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—In silence I grieve,That thy heart could forget,Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet theeAfter long years,How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.

想从前我们俩分手拜伦想从前我们俩分手，默默无言地流着泪，预感到多年的隔离，我们忍不住心碎;你的脸冰凉、发白，你的吻更似冷冰，呵，那一刻正预兆了我今日的悲痛。

清早凝结着寒露，冷彻了我的额角，那种感觉仿佛是对我此刻的警告。

你的誓言全破碎了，你的行为如此轻浮：人家提起你的名字，我听了也感到羞辱。

他们当着我讲到你，一声声有如丧钟;我的全身一阵颤栗——为什么对你如此情重?

没有人知道我熟识你，呵，熟识得太过了——我将长久、长久地悔恨，这深处难以为外人道。

你我秘密地相会，我又默默地悲伤，你竟然把我欺骗，你的心终于遗忘。

如果很多年以后，我们又偶然会面，我将要怎样招呼你?

只有含着泪，默默无言。
