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

不要不辞而别,我爱。

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

我看望了一夜,现在我脸上睡意重重。

I fear lest I lose you when I am sleeping.

只恐我在睡中把你丢失了。

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

不要不辞而别,我爱。

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

我惊起伸出双手去摸触你,我问自己说:"这是一个梦么?"

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

但愿我能用我的心系住你的双足,紧抱在胸前!

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

不要不辞而别,我爱。
