We planted an innocent seed of affection,

Before we conceived what fruit it would bear.

Though it seems growing all by itself,

It now turns out a divine trial to my care.

This vine of our love may burgeon and bloom,

And twine round our hearts with tendrils too tight;

While its blossoms fill the night with perfume,

It may tangle our fortunes and set souls into flight.

【汉译】

一颗爱的种子

潘文礼

我和你一起播下了爱的种子，

却不知它会结出什么样的果实。

看起来它像在自己发芽成长，

实际上它意味着真诚的担当。

这种爱像蔓藤一样快速盘旋，

直把我们的心紧紧地绕缠。

它散发的芬芳弥漫我们周围，

却因销魂而攥住了彼此的命脉。
