If you were coming in the fall 如果你要来的秋天

I'd brush the summer by 我会用刷子夏天

With half a smile and half a spurn 半带微笑，半唾弃

As housewives do a fly 家庭主妇做一只苍蝇

   

If I could see you in a year 如果我能看到你在一年

I'd wind the months in balls 我会在风球个月

And put them each in separate drawers 并把它们各自在不同的抽屉

Until their time befalls 直到他们的时间降临

   

If only centuries delayed 如果只耽搁几个世纪

I'd count them on my hand 我指望他们对我的手

Subtracting till my fingers dropped 减去，直到我的手指下跌

Into Van Dieman's land 成范Dieman土地

   

If certain, when this life was out 如果某些时候这种生活了

That yours and mine should be 那你和我应该是

I'd toss it yonder like a rind 我折腾那边像皮

And taste eternity 和品味永恒

   

But now, all ignorant of the lengths of time 但现在，一切无知的时间长度

Uncertain wing, it goads me like 不确定翼，它电击棒我喜欢

The goblin bee 妖精蜜蜂

That will not state its sting 这不会说出它的刺

   

If only centuries delayed 如果只耽搁几个世纪

I'd count them on my hand 我指望他们对我的手

Subtracting till my fingers dropped 减去，直到我的手指下跌

Into Van Diemen's land 到范迪门土地

   

If certain, when this life was out 如果某些时候这种生活了

That yours and mine should be 那你和我应该是

I'd toss it yonder like a rind 我折腾那边像皮

And taste eternity 和品味永恒
