Я вас любил: любовь ещё, быть может

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA

Я вас любил: любовь ещё, быть может,
В душе моей угасла не совсем;
Но пусть она вас больше не тревожит:
Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.

Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
[То робостью, то ревностью томим]¹:
Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай вам Бог любимой быть другим.

曾经爱你

Language: Chinese (中文) after the Russian (Русский)

曾经爱你：也许仍在继续着，
灵魂中还没完全消褪尽。
但是不要再让它将您折磨。
我不想让你有任何伤心。

默默无言地爱你，希望全无，
现在我们饱受羞涩、妒嫉。
我的爱如此真诚，如此温柔，
天保佑有人同样地爱你。
