Love is cruel, Love is sweet

                      Thomas MacDonagh  (1878-1916)

Love is cruel, love is sweet,-

Cruel sweet,

Lovers sigh till lovers meet,

Sigh and meet-

Sigh and meet, and sigh again-

Cruel sweet! O sweetest pain!

Love is blind- but love is sly,

Blind and sly-

Thoughts are bold, but words are shy-

Bold and shy-

Bold and shy, and bold again-

Sweet is boldness,-shyness pain.

愛情既殘酷, 愛情又甜蜜

麥克多納

愛情既殘酷, 愛情又甜蜜-

殘酷的甜蜜,

戀人不見面, 戀人就歎息,

歎到重相聚-

歎到重相聚, 過後又長歎-

殘酷的甜蜜呀又苦又甜!

愛情既盲目, 愛情也狡黠,

盲目又狡黠.

心思雖勇敢, 出口卻害怕-

勇敢又害怕-

勇敢又害怕, 過後又勇敢;

害怕就是苦, 勇敢便是甜.
