Do not keep to yourself the secret of your heart, my friend!

Say it to me, only to me, in secret.

You who smile so gently, softly whisper, my heart will hear it, not my ears.

The night is deep, the house is silent, the birds' nests are shrouded with sleep.

Speak to me through hesitating tears, through faltering smiles, through sweet shame and pain, the secret of your heart.

不要把你心里的秘密藏起来，我的朋友！

对我说吧，秘密地只对我一个人说吧。

你笑得这样温婉，说话这样轻柔，我的心会倾听你的话语，而不是我的耳朵。

夜深沉，庭静默，鸟巢也被睡眠笼罩着。

从犹豫的泪里，从沉吟的笑里，从甜美的羞怯和痛苦里，把你心底的秘密告诉我吧！
