附:《乡愁》
Nostalgia
小时候,乡愁是一枚小小的邮票
When I was a child, Nostalgia seemed a small stamp
我在这头,
Here am I
母亲在那头。
And there, my mother.
长大后,乡愁是一张窄窄的船票,
Then I was a grown-up, Nostalgia became a traveling ticket
我在这头,
Here am I
新娘在那头。
And there, my bride.
后来啊,乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓,
During the later years, Nostalgia turned to be a graveyard
我在外头,
Here am I
母亲在里头。
And yonder, my mother.
而现在,
And now at present,
乡愁是一弯浅浅的海峡,
Nostalgia looms large to be a channel
我在这头,
Here am I
大陆在那头。
And yonder, my Continent!
