Cynara

Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae

（Ernest Dowson, 1867~1900）

Last night,ah,yesternight,betwixt her lips and mine there fell thy shadow,Cynara!

辛娜拉,昨夜你的身影横在我和她的朱唇之间。

Thy breath was shed upon my soul between the kisses and the wines;

你的呼吸笼罩着我的灵魂，不论我是在亲吻，还是在酒中留连

And I was desolate and sick of an old passion,Yea,I was desolate and bowed my head:I have been faith ful to thee,Cynara!In my fashion.

我的心一片荒芜，我垂下头。辛娜拉，我一直用自己的方式忠诚的爱着你.

All night upon mine heart I felt her warm heart beat,night-long within mine arms in love and sleep she lay;Surely the kisses of her bought red mouth were sweet;

整夜，她沉浸在爱情中，酣睡在我的怀抱里,她的香唇红艳，热吻香甜；

But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,When I awoke and found the dawn was gray:

我的心一片荒芜，以往的激情一去不复。可当我醒来,看到灰暗的黎明,

I have been faithful to thee,Cynara!In my fashion.I have forgot much,Cynara!Gone with the wind,

辛娜拉,我一直用自己的方式忠诚地爱者你.辛娜拉,很多往事我已遗,随风而逝,

Flung roses,roses riotously with the throng,Dancing to put thy pale,lost lilies out of mind;

我与人群狂欢,扔着玫瑰,跳舞以忘记苍白,失落如百合般的你.

But I was desolate and sick'of an old passion,Yea,all the time,because the dance was long:I have been faithful to thee,Cynara!In my fashion.

但在这长长舞曲的每一分钟,我的心一片荒芜,以往的激情一去不复,辛娜拉,我一直用自己的方式忠诚的爱你。

I cried for madder music and for stronger wine,But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire,

我需要更疯狂的音乐，更浓醇的美酒,但当宴会结束，灯火阑珊，

Then falls thy shadow,Cynara!The night is thine;And I am desolate,and sick of an old passion:

辛娜拉，你的身影重又到来，整个夜晚都是你的，我的心一片荒芜，以后的激情一去不复，

Yea,hungry for the lips of my desire:I have been faithful to thee,Cynara!In my fashion.

我只渴望你的双唇，辛娜拉，我一直用自己的方式忠诚的爱你。
