I Remember, I Remember 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！

　　(2)

　　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！

　　(3)

　　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！

　　(4)

　　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！
