Homesick
As a boy,
I was homesick for a tiny stamp,
—I was here,
Mom lived alone over there.
When a grown-up,
I was homesick for a small ship ticket.
—I was here,
My bride remained over there.
Later on,
I was homesick for a little tomb.
—I was here,
Mother rested over there.
And today,
I am homesick for a shallow strait,
—I am here,
The Mainland lies over there.
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。
