I am not yours

<I am not yours>

I am not yours, not lost in you,

Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

我不屬於你，不會在你身上溶失，
不會溶失，雖然我渴望
溶失如蠟燭點燃於正午，
如雪片溶失於大海。

你愛我，我覺得你依然
是個美麗而聰明的人，
然而我是我，渴望
溶失如光溶失於光。

噢，讓我深陷於愛——熄滅我的感覺，讓我聾又瞎，
被你愛的風暴橫掃，
一支小蠟燭在疾風中。
