Each Man Kills The Thing He Loves (Querelle)
Each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Do You love me?
Of course, my dear.
Oh ，how I love you so!
Me too.
Would you die with me？
I will die for you.
Oh,my dear!]
Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.
Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.

人人都杀心爱的人儿，
愿这话人人能听见。
有人是用难看的脸色，
有人是用蜜语和甜言，
怯懦的胆小鬼用亲吻，
勇敢的人才用刀剑！
杀死爱人时有人尚年轻，
而有人已经年老；
有的人用淫欲的手掐，
有的人用金银钱钞；
最最仁慈的就用一把刀，
让死者很快就冷掉。
有的人爱得太少或太多，
有的人卖爱或买爱；
有的人干这事眼泪汪汪。
有的人却连气也不叹一声；
因为人人杀他心爱的人，
但自己并不会为此丧生。
