I love you, my love-Tagore
Bing Xin's translation
I love you, my love. Please forgive my love.
Like a lost bird, I was caught.
When my heart trembled, it lost its veil and became naked.
Cover it up with pity. Dear, please forgive my love.
If you can't love me, lover, please forgive my pain.
Don't squint at me from a distance.
I'll sneak back to my corner and sit in the dark.
I will cover my naked shame with my hands.
Go back, my love, please forgive my pain.
If you love me, lover, please forgive my happiness.
Don't laugh at me when my heart is swept away by the torrent of happiness.
A chaotic retreat.
When I sit on my throne and rule you with my tyrannical love,
Forgive my pride when I show you my kindness like a goddess.
Come on, love, and forgive my happiness.

The poet dares to express his love in his heart, and is willing to unfold his love naked in front of his lover and pray for his pity and acceptance.
Love is often associated with pain. Many people are unwilling to bear such pain. The poet's love is pure love, even if he is not in the lover's heart, even if he can only hide in a dark corner after expressing his love.
