The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies.

初見妳的臉

我以為妳的眼裡升起太陽

而星星和月亮都是妳給的禮物

為黑暗貧乏的天空增添光彩

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move "in my hands"

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love.

第一次我吻妳的唇

感覺地球在我手中轉動

妳的心像鳥兒被擒噗噗顫抖

任憑我自由憐愛，親親

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last and last and last till the end of time

第一次我與你並肩躺下

我感覺妳的心如此靠近我

我知道我們的歡愉會充塞於天地

持續，一直持續，直到時間的盡頭

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,

Your face, your face

初見妳的臉，妳的臉，妳的臉，妳的臉啊

註：

這首歌分三段，有情緒上的起承轉合，第一段是初見，第二段是初吻，第三段是肉體的首度親近。歌詞寫得很含蓄，簡單而深刻，真實而不賣弄，是好歌詞。
