后来啊,
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓,
我在外头,
母亲啊在里头。
而现在,
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡,
我在这头,
大陆在那头。 Homesickness (by Yu
Guangzhong)
In my childhood,
Homesickness was a small stamp.
I was here.
And my mother was over there.
When I grew up,
Homesickness was a narrow
ship-ticket.
I was here
And my bride was over there.
And then,
Homesickness was a small tomb.
With me outside
And my mother inside.
But now,
Homesickness is a shallow
strait.
I am on this side.
And the mainland is on the other
side. [诗人简介]
