34

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.

不要不辞而别，我的爱人。

我看守了一整夜，现在我的眼睛睡意浓重。

我只怕在睡梦中丢掉你。

不要不辞而别，我的爱人。

我惊坐起伸出双手去触摸你，我问自己：“这是一个梦吗？”

但愿我能用心拴住你的双足，紧抱在胸前！

不要不辞而别，我的爱人。
