If You Forget Me

I want you to know one thing,

希望你知道，

You know how this is,

這是我的想法，

If I look at the crystal moon,

當我憑窗凝望，

at the red branch,

姗姗而來的秋日，

of the slow autumn at my window,

紅枝上的明月，

If I touch near the firem,

當我輕觸火堆旁，

the impalpable ash,

似有似無的塵燼，

or the wrinkled body of the log,

或是褶皺層層的木柴，

Everything carries me to you,

我的心兒就會飛向你，

As if everything that exists,

似乎一切都有了，

Aromas, light, medals,

芬芳，光明和榮譽，

Or little boats that sail toward,

就像小舟蕩向島嶼，

those isles of your that wait for me,

那裏，你等候着我，

Well now. If little by little,

然而，假若，

You stop loving me,

你對我的愛情淡去，

I shall stop loving you,

我的愛火也會，

Little by little.

漸漸熄滅。

If suddenly you forget me,

如果瞬間你忘了我，

Do not look for me,

别來找我，

For I shall already have forgotten you.

因爲我早已把你忘懷。

If you think it long and mad,

我生命中，

the wind of banners,

過往的獵獵疾風，

that passes through my life,

如果你嫌棄它過于悠長，瘋狂，

And you decide to leave me,

而決意離我而去，

at the shore of the heart where I have roots,

在我愛情所深埋的心之岸，

Remember, that on that day, at that hour,

記住，彼時彼刻，

I shall lift my arms,

我将舉起雙臂，

And my roots will set off,

搖斷愛的根脈，

to seek another land.

憩于他方。

But, if each day, each hour,

但是，如果每時每刻，

You feel that you are destined for me,

如果你也感覺到你是我的真命天子，

with implacable sweetness,

能共享奇妙的甜蜜，

If each day a flower climbs,

如果你迎向我的紅唇，

up to your lips to seek me,

每天綻若鮮花，

Ah my love, ah my own,

啊，我的愛人，我心裏，

in me all that fire is repeated,

所有的愛火将再度燃起，

In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,

永不會消失，永不被忘記，

My love feeds on your love, beloved,

我情因你愛而生，愛人啊，

And as long as you live,

情長今生，

it will be in your arms without leaving mine.

不離你我臂彎。
