I remember a wonderful moment
我記得那美妙的瞬間：
As before my eyes you appeared,
你就在我的眼前降臨，
Like a vision, fleeting, momentary,
如同曇花一現的夢幻，
Like a spirit of the purest beauty.
如同純真之美的化身。
In the torture of hopeless melancholy,
我為絕望的悲痛所折磨，
In the bustle of the world's noisy hours,
我因紛亂的忙碌而不安，
That voice rang out so tenderly,
一個溫柔的聲音總響在耳邊，
I dreamed of that lovely face of yours.
嫵媚的身影總在我夢中盤旋。
The years flew quickly. The storm's blast
歲月流逝。一陣陣迷離的衝動
Scattered the dreams of former times,
像風暴把把往日的幻想吹散，
And I forgot your tender voice,
我忘卻了你那溫柔的聲音，
And the features of your heavenly face.
也忘卻了你天仙般的容顏。
In remoteness, in gloomy isolation,
在荒涼的鄉間，在囚禁的黑暗中，
My days dragged quietly, nothing was new,
我的時光在靜靜地延伸，
No godlike face, no inspiration,
沒有崇敬的神明，沒有靈感，
No tears, no life, no love, no you.
沒有淚水，沒有生命，沒有愛情。
Then to my soul an awakening came,
我的心終於重又覺醒，
And there again your face appeared,
你又在我眼前降臨，
Like a vision, fleeting, momentary,
如同曇花一現的夢幻，
Like a spirit of the purest beauty.
如同純真之美的化身。
And my heart beat with a rapture new,
心兒在狂喜中萌動，
And for its sake arose again
一切又為它萌生：
A godlike face, an inspiration,
有崇敬的神明，有靈感，
And life, and tears, and love, and you
有淚水，有生命、也有愛情。
