Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
不要溫和地走進那個良夜
不要溫和地走進那個良夜，
老年應當在日暮時燃燒咆哮；
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
雖然智慧的人臨終時懂得黑暗有理，
因為他們的話沒有迸發出閃電，他們
也並不溫和地走進那個良夜。
善良的人，當最後壹浪過去，高呼他們脆弱的善行
可能曾會多麽光輝地在綠色的海灣裏舞蹈，
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
狂暴的人抓住並歌唱過翺翔的太陽，
懂得，但為時太晚，他們使太陽在途中悲傷，
也並不溫和地走進那個良夜。
嚴肅的人，接近死亡，用炫目的視覺看出
失明的眼睛可以像流星壹樣閃耀歡欣，
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
您啊，我的父親．在那悲哀的高處．
現在用您的熱淚詛咒我，祝福我吧．我求您
不要溫和地走進那個良夜。
怒斥，怒斥光明的消逝。
When you are old
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire，take down this book
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
當妳老了
當妳老了，頭發花白，睡意沈沈
倦坐在爐邊，取下這本書來，
慢慢讀著，追夢當年的眼神
妳那柔美的神采與深幽的暈影
多少人愛過妳曇花壹現的身影，
愛過妳的美貌，以虛偽或真情，
惟獨壹人曾愛妳那朝聖者的心，
愛妳哀戚的臉上歲月的留痕。
在爐罩邊低眉彎腰，
憂戚沈思，喃喃而語，
愛情是怎樣逝去，又怎樣步上群山，
怎樣在繁星之間藏住了臉
