不要不辞而别，我的爱人。

我看望了一夜，现在我脸上睡意重重。

只恐我在睡中把你丢失了。

不要不辞而别，我的爱人。

我惊起伸出双手去摸触你，我问自己说：“这是一个梦么？”

但愿我能用我的心系住你的双足，紧抱在胸前！

不要不辞而别，我的爱人。

Do not go，my love，without asking my leave.

I have watched all night，and now my eyes are heavy with sleep.

I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping.

Do not go，my love，without asking my leave.

I start up and stretch my hands to touch you. I ask myself，“Is it a dream？”

Could I but entangle your feet with my heart and hold them fast to my breast！

Do not go，my love，without asking my leave.
