他们把我们分开，

就像分开陆地和大海。

但我爱悄悄伸来荒凉的半岛，

与我成说：“我看到。”

他们夺走我们的眼睛，

阻挡我们以枪支和利刃。

但我们的心声如电波传递，

告诉彼此：“我看到了你。”

他们打造最坚固的地牢，

累累机关，重重石壁。

但我们的灵魂仍相互致意：

“你好吗？我很好。”

最终他们将我们传唤、审判，

为我们的双脚钉上死囚的镣铐。

但两颗心跳起了甜蜜的舞蹈，

“因为我看到了你，我的爱人！”

放弃吧，忘记吧。他们这样说，

就让你们重获阳光下的自由。

但我们转身，背对太阳，

不肯对心中的爱做出伪证。

随后而来的死亡，也许还有天堂，

我和你，都未曾留意。

我们就这样循着彼此的目光，

看着彼此的脸，再无遗憾。

They put Us far apart -

As separate as Sea

And Her unsown Peninsula - 

We signified “These see”-

They took away our Eyes -

They thwarted Us with Guns -

“I see Thee” each responded straight

Through Telegraphic Signs -

With Dungeons - They devised -

But through their thickest skill -

And their opaquest Adamant -

Our Souls saw - just as well -

They summoned Us to die -

With sweet alacrity

We stood upon our stapled feet -

Condemned-but just - to see -

Permission to recant -

Permission to forget -

We turned our backs upon the Sun

For perjury of that -

Not Either - noticed Death -

Of Paradise - aware -

Each other’s Face - was all the Disc

Each other’s setting - saw –
