If You Forget Me 如果你忘了我

By Pablo Neruda　作者: 帕布羅.聶魯達
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　姍姍而來的秋日
of the slow autumn at my window　 紅枝上的明月
If I touch near the fire　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, 你等候著我
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　別來找我,
For I shall already have forgotten you.　因為我早已把你忘懷.
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, 　如果你嫌棄它過於悠長,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　我將舉起雙臂
And my roots will set off　搖斷愛的根脈,
to seek another land.　憩於他方.
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, 　所有的愛火將再度燃起,
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.
