A Red, Red Rose
Robert Burns
O My luve’s* like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang* dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!

一朵红红的玫瑰

吕志鲁译
呵,我的爱人像一朵红红的玫瑰,
蓓蕾初放正值花季;
呵,我的爱人像一首甜甜的乐曲,
旋律奏响最合时宜。
我怎能不深深爱你!
我将爱你直至永远,亲爱的,
纵使天下的海水销声绝跡。
纵使天下的海水销声绝跡,
太阳把世上的岩石熔为浆泥;
呵,我还要爱你,亲爱的,
只要我生命的沙漏尚能为继。
再见吧,我唯一的爱,
我将重回你的身边,我的爱,
哪怕远隔千里万里!
