Bashful Hope

Bashful Hope

Bashful hope,
Like a herd of timid deer,
Is frightened for the caressing and flees
Far away, farther away, till it vanishes.

There is left only some pain, Like a tyrant,
Trampling on my heart.
Don't torture me, I have already confessed:
Cowardice brings all the faults and misfortune.

羞涩的希望

羞涩的希望
像苔原上胆小的鹿群，
竟因爱抚而惊走逃遁，
远了，更远了，终於不见踪影。

只有一片隐痛，宛如暴君
蹂躏着我的心；
莫要拷问我，我已经招认：
怯懦，这便是全部的过错和不幸。
