月亮离海很远

月亮离海很远——

但她琥珀色的手——

引领着他，像一个温驯的男孩——

涌向海岸——

他从不失分寸——

在她的目光下变得顺从

他的浪花只到这里，向着城镇的方向——

只到这里，便又消退——

哦，先生，你那，琥珀色的手——

还有我的，遥远的海——

你任何一个目光的授意

都将令我唯命是从——

The Moon is distant from the Sea

The Moon is distant from the Sea—

And yet, with Amber Hands—

She leads Him—docile as a Boy—

Along appointed Sands—

He never misses a Degree—

Obedient to Her Eye

He comes just so far—toward the Town—

Just so far—goes away—

Oh, Signor, Thine, the Amber Hand—

And mine—the distant Sea—

Obedient to the least command

Thine eye impose on me—
