A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?
情人問他的摯愛,
你是不是愛自己更多
勝過你愛我？
The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.
摯愛回答,
我已死去
我，為你而活。
I've disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.
我已從我
和自己的種種特性中消失了。
我只為你而存在。
I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.
我已忘記了所學的一切,
但自從認識了你
我成了一個學者。
I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.
我已經失去了我所有的力量,
但從你的力量里
我變得無所不能。
If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself.
如果我愛我自己
我就會愛你。
如果我愛你
我就會愛我自己。
