乡愁

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.



   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
