I wish I could remember the first day,

　　First hour, first moment of your meeting me,

　　If bright or dim the season,

　　It might be summer or winter for aught I can say.

　　So unrecorded did it slip away,

　　So blind was I to see and foresee,

　　So dull to mark the budding of my tree

　　That would not blossom yet for many a May.

　　If only I could recollect it,

　　Such a day of days!

　　Let it come and go as traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;

　　It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;

　　If only now I could reed that touch,

　　First touch of hand in hand-Did one but know!

　　只因我疏忽大意,它悄然流逝不留痕跡,

　　只因我茫然無知，不曾留意亦未能預知,

　　只因我不以為然，未曾看到小樹

　　過去了一個又一個五月，花兒都沒有綻放。

　　多希望我能記住它,

　　那時光中的一日!我卻放任它

　　如融雪般全然消逝；

　　它現在看似無足輕重,其實當時意味深長；

　　多希望我能重溫那感覺,

　　第一次牽手的感覺——可我那時不懂啊!
