I used to love you

I used to love you

I once loved you: love, perhaps

Hasn't quite died out in my mind.

May it not disturb you again.

I don't want to make you sad and sorrowful again.

I loved you once in silence, without hope.

I endured both shyness and jealousy.

I have loved you so sincerely and so tenderly.

May God bless you that another will love you as I have loved you.

by: Pushkin

The beginning of love

The wind is soft, love is sweet.

The night is soundly drunk, only because love is beautiful.

I want to know, once love is discontinued

I wonder if it will still be missed.

Or will she remain in the heart.

Or will it grow dim in later years.

Will she make us rejoice again?

To feel all this, we will stay on earth.

The more immature we are, the younger we feel.

Nothing will move me deeply anymore.

Everything is already an understatement.

It is only when people wake up to the fact that she will eventually run out.

This is the beginning of love.
