Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, In life after life,

in age after age forever. My spell-bound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms In life after life, in age after age forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain, Its ancient tale of being apart or together, As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time: You become an image of what is remembered forever. You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount At the heart of time love of one for another. We have played alongside millions of lovers, shared in the same Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell Old love, but in shapes that renew and renew forever: Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you, The love of all man's days both past and forever: Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life, The memories of all loves merging with this one of ours And the songs of every poet both past and forever.

Unending Love de Rabindranath Tagore Se pare c te-am iubit n nenumrate forme, de nenumrate ori, n viaa de dup via, n vrsta de dup vrsta, ntotdeauna. Inima sub o vraj i-a fcut i refacut colierul de melodii Pe care le iei n dar, le pori n jurul gtului n multele tale forme n viaa de dup via, n vrsta de dup vrsta, ntotdeauna. Ori de cte ori aud vechi cronici de dragoste, durerea veche ct veacul, Povestea veche de a fii desprii sau mpreun, Cum privesc mereu n trecut, n cele din urm te vei ivi nvemntat n lumina stelei polare care strapunge ntunericul timpului: Devii o imagine a ceea ce este amintit pentru totdeauna. Tu i cu mine am plutit aici pe un torent care aduce de la izvor Ctre inima timpului iubirea unuia ctre cellalt. Ne-am jucat alturi de milioane de ndrgostii, am mprit aceeai Dulce timiditate a ntlnirii, aceleai nefericite lacrimi de rmas bun Dragoste veche, dar n forme care se rennoiesc i rennoiesc mereu. Astzi este ngrmdit la picioarele tale, i-a gsit sfritul n tine, Iubirea din toate zilele trecute i pentru totdeauna: Bucuria universal, durerea universal, viaa universal, Amintirile tuturor iubirilor contopindu-se cu aceasta a noastr i cntecele fiecrui poet n trecut i n veci.
