I Will Not Let Thee Go

Robert Bridges

I will not let thee go.

Ends all our month-long love in this?

Can it be summed up so,

Quit in a single kiss?

I will not let thee go.

I will not let thee go.

If thy words' breath could scare thy deeds,

As the soft south can blow

And toss¹ the feathered seeds,

Then might I let thee go.

I will not let thee go.

Had not the great sun seen, I might;

Or were he reckoned² slow

To bring the false to light,

Then might I let thee go...

I will not let thee go.

I hold thee by too many bands:

Thou sayest farewell, and lo!

I have thee by the hands,

And will not let thee go.

我不会让你走开

罗伯特•布里奇斯

我不会让你走开。

难道就此结束这段恋爱？

岂能这样分手，

一吻之后拜拜？

我不会让你走开。

我不会让你走开。

除非你的语气把你自己吓坏，

就像南方温和的天气，

把飘飞的种子全都抛进大海，

那我就让你走开。

我不会让你走开。

除非太阳再也不肯出来；

或者黑夜长长，

把虚假永久遮盖，

那我就让你走开...

我不会让你走开。

用一千只手把你的衣衫紧拽：

你尽管说再见！

抓住你的双手死乞白赖，

我不会让你走开。
