这是我的誓言；

     This is what I vow;

他将拥有我的心、

He shall have my heart to keep,

我们将甜蜜地悸动和共眠、

Sweetly will we stir and sleep,

漫长的岁月，一如今日。

     All the years, as now.

沙漏里面的沙子可以流光；

Swift the measured sands may run;

这样的爱将永不结束；

Love like this is never done;

他和我已融为一体：

He and I are welded one:

这就是我的誓言。

     This is what I vow.

这是我的祈祷：

     This is what I pray:

让他在我身边温柔相待；

Keep him by me tenderly;

让他甜蜜的心以我为荣，

Keep him sweet in pride of me,

直到永远；

     Ever and a day;

让我远离过去的苦难；

Keep me from the old distress;

为了我们的幸福，让我

Let me, for our happiness,

成为那个爱得少些的人

Be the one to love the less:

这就是我的祈祷。

     This is what I pray.

这是我所知道的：

     This is what I know:

恋人的誓言轻薄如雨；

Lovers’ oaths are thin as rain;

爱是痛苦的预兆——

Love's a harbinger of pain—

我希望并非如此!

     Would it were not so!

我的心一直在渴求、

Ever is my heart a-thirst,

我的爱永远被诅咒；

Ever is my love accurst;

他既不是最终也不是最初

He is neither last nor first—

这就是我所知道的。

     This is what I know.
