【When（you及are及old及《当你老了》中英对照）】When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, I shall read to you

A little of the love that once was yours,

And dream of your youth, and your wild, bright eyes,

And all the soft things that once were said between us,

And how we laughed in the golden light.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, I shall read to you

A little of the love that once was yours,

And dream of your youth, and your wild, bright eyes,

And all the soft things that once were said between us,

And how we laughed in the golden light.

And when your hair is white as snow,

And your heart is heavy with the weight of time,

You will think of me, and perhaps you'll feel a pang,

For I have loved you, not for what you were,

But for what you might have been.

And when your hair is white as snow,

And your heart is heavy with the weight of time,

You will think of me, and perhaps you'll feel a pang,

For I have loved you, not for what you were,

But for what you might have been.

当你老了 《When You Are Old》 中英对照

当你老了，头发白了，睡意昏沉，

坐在炉边打盹，我会轻声读给你听，

一段曾经属于你的爱，

回忆你年轻时的容颜，和那双明亮而炽热的眼睛，

还有我们之间那些温柔的话语，

以及我们在金色阳光下欢笑的时光。

当你老了，头发白了，睡意昏沉，

坐在炉边打盹，我会轻声读给你听，

一段曾经属于你的爱，

回忆你年轻时的容颜，和那双明亮而炽热的眼睛，

还有我们之间那些温柔的话语，

以及我们在金色阳光下欢笑的时光。

当你的头发像雪一样白，

你的心被岁月压得沉重，

你会想起我，也许会有一丝伤感，

因为我曾爱你，不是因为你是谁，

而是因为你可能成为的样子。
