乡愁

小时候，乡愁是一枚小小的邮票，
我在这头，母亲在那头。
长大后，乡愁是一张窄窄的船票，
我在这头，新娘在那头。
后来啊!乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓，
我在外头，母亲在里头。 
而现在，乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡，
我在这头，大陆在那头。




Homesick

When I was a child， my homesickness was a small stamp　　 
Linking Mum at the other end and me this.　　
When grown up， I remained homesick， but it became a ticket　　
By which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end.　　
Then homesickness took the shape of a grave 
Mum inside of it and me outside.　　 
Now I’m still homesick， but it is a narrow strait　
Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other.
