--by Rabindranath Tagore
Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
I have watched all night,
and now my eyes are heavy with sleep.
I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping.
Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
I start up and stretch my hands to touch you.
I ask myself,“ Is it a dream?”
Could I but entangle your feet with my heart and hold them fast to my breast!
Do not go, my love, without asking my leave.
参考译文
【印度】拉宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔
不要不辞而别,我爱。
我看望了一夜,
现在我脸上睡意重重。
只恐我在睡中把你丢失了。
不要不辞而别,我爱。
我惊起伸出双手去摸触你,
我问自己“这是一个梦么?”
但愿我能用我的心系住你的双足,
紧抱在胸前！
不要不辞而别,我爱。
