理雅各James Legge的經典翻譯：

For life or for death， however separated，

To our wives we pleadged our word。

We held their hands；——-

We are to grow old together with them。

Bernhard Karlgren的翻譯：

In death or life （we are） separated and far apart；

With you I made an agreement：

I grasped your hand，

Together with you I was to grow old。

大詩人龐德Ezra Pound的翻譯：

To stay together till death and end

for far， for near， hand， oath， accord：

Never alive

will we keep that word。

簡明版翻譯：

I want to hold your hand

and with you I will grow old。

或者更簡單的

To hold your hand

To grow old with you
