偶然

诗/徐志摩

我是天空里的一片云，

偶尔投影在你的波心——

你不必讶异，

更无须欢喜——

在转瞬间消灭了踪影。

你我相逢在黑夜的海上，

你有你的，我有我的，方向；

你记得也好，

最好你忘掉，

在这交会时互放的光亮！

Chance

by Xu Zhimo /Tr. by Lily

I am a cloud in the sky, and by chance

I cast my shadow on the ripple¹ of your mind ---

Don’t be surprised

Nor even be in delight ---

Soon my trace will be gone from sight。

We meet at the sea of dark night,

You have your direction while I have mine;

Remember this encounter as you wish,

Though it’s best that you forget,

On each other we have sparked the light!
