相思

 

胡适

也想不相思, 可免相思苦;

几次细思量, 情愿相思苦。

  I too have wished not to love

     That I might escape love’s sorrow

         But now after much discretion

              I willingly admit love’s sorrow

      That I might escape love’s sorrow

                  But before being drown in discretion

                         I willingly admit the sorrow        

                                     Of Love

I too have wished not to love

     That I might escape love’s sorrow

         But now after much discretion

              I willingly suffer for

                      whatever love will bring
