《乡愁》——余光中(violet试译)

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湾。

我在这头，大陆在那头。

Nostalgia——Yu Guangzhong

When I was a little boy,

My nostalgia was a tiny stamp stealing my joy.

I was on my way,

Mother was far away.

When I grew old and with love I was lit,

My nostalgia filled a  narrow boat ticket.

I was on my way,

My bride was far away.

Years later,

My nostalgia became a low tomb of winter.

Within which lied my sleeping mother,

Outside I alone  faced the changing weather.

While today,

My nostalgia, she melts into a shallow bay.

Here on the lonely island I stand,

Missing my far-away mother land .
