几首意大利诗歌-英译本

"Life of my life, you seem to me"

by Torquato Tasso

Life of my life, you seem to me

Like some pallid olive tree

Or the faded rose I see:

Nor do you lack beauty,

But pleasing in every way to me,

In shyness or in flattery,

Whether you follow me or flee,

Consume, destroy me softly.

"O you, far colder, whiter"

by Torquato Tasso

O you, far colder, whiter

Than she who makes less fair

The stars with shining there:

Her purest silver cannot dim

Nor any cloud, or rain or wind,

Your sweet brightness, lovely eyes.

Would you but turn to me, with delight,

I should be happy, and my life a dream.

"Once we were happy"

by Torquato Tasso

Once we were happy, I

Loving and beloved,

You loved and loving, sweetly moved.

Then you became the enemy

Of love, and I to disdain

Found youthful passion change.

Disdain demands I speak,

Disdain, that in my breast

Keeps the shame of my neglected offering fresh:

And from your laurel

Tears the leaves, now dry, once beautiful.
