I Remember，I Remember

I remember， I remember

我忆起，我忆起

The house where I was born

那栋出生时的屋宇

the little window where the sun

早晨，阳光从小窗中

Came peeping in at morn

偷望进去

He never came a wink too soon

他从不早来片刻

Nor brought too long a day

也不多留半晌

But now， I often wish the night

但是现在，我常愿夜晚

Had borne my breath away

带走我的呼吸

I remember，I remember

我忆起，我忆起

The roses，red and white

玫瑰花开，有红有白

The vi'lets，and the lily-cups

紫罗兰，百合

Those flowers made of light

那些由光辉构成的花朵

The lilacs where the robin built

有知更鸟筑巢的紫丁香

And where my brother set

有哥哥生日时

The laburnum on his birthday

--种植的金炼花

The tree is living yet

依然常青

I remember，I remember

我忆起，我忆起

Where I was used to swing

经常荡秋千的地方

and thought the air must rush as fresh

迎面而来的风是如此清爽

To swallows on the wing

飞燕也颇有同感

My spirit flew in feathers then

昔日意气扬扬的心灵

That is so heavy now

现在变得如此沉重

And summer pools could hardly cool

就是夏日的池水也无法冷却

The fever on my brow

我额头的热狂

I remember，I remember

我忆起，我忆起

The fir trees dark and high

茂密高耸的冷杉

I used to think their slender tops

我曾想象它细长的枝尖

Were close against the sky

逼近天空

It was a childish ignorance

虽然只是幼稚无知

But now 'tis little joy

但是，现在却少有那般快乐

To know I'm farther off from heav'n

因为我知道自己比孩童时代

Than when I was a boy

离苍穹更遥远了
