当我未曾拥有你的时候，

When I didn’t have you

我爱这自然就像平和的僧侣爱着基督……

I loved Nature like a calm monk loves Christ...

如今，我爱这自然

Now I love Nature

就像平和的僧侣爱着圣母，

Like a calm monk loves the Virgin Mary,

虔诚，自我，一如既往，

Religiously, in my way, like before,

而更亲密更感人肺腑。

But in another way more moving and nearer.

当我与你走过田野来到河边

I see the rivers better when I go with you

我把这河水看得更清楚；

Through the fields to the riversides;

当我坐在你身边，注视着云朵，

Sitting at your side looking at clouds

我把这云朵看得更清楚……

I look at them better...

你没有夺走我的自然……

You didn’t take me from Nature...

你没有改变我的自然……

You didn’t change Nature for me...

你把自然送到我身边。

You brought Nature right next to me.

因为你的存在，我把它看得更清楚，而它依然是它，

Because you exist I see it better, but the same,

因为你爱我，我也同样地爱它，而更一往情深，

Because you love me, I love it the same, but more,

因为你选择让我爱你让我拥有你，

Because you chose me to have you and love you,

因此，我的眼眸曾长久地凝视着它

My eyes stare at everything more lingeringly.

而无视所有的一切。

I don’t regret anything I used to be

Because I’m still the same.

我不后悔从前的我，

I only regret not having loved you.

因为今天我依然故我。

Put your hands in mine

只后悔没有早点爱上你。

And let’s keep quiet, surrounded by life.
