乡愁
小时候 , When I was young,
乡愁是一枚小小的邮票 , my homesickness was a small stamp,
我在这头 , I was here,
母亲在那头。 my mother was there.
长大后 , After growing up,
乡愁是一张窄窄的船票 , my homesickness was a narrow ticket,
我在这头 , I was here,
新娘在那头 。 my bride was there
后来啊, Later,
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓 , my homesickness was a little tomb,
我在外头, I was outside,
母亲在里头 。 my mother was inside.
而现在 , And now,
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡 , my homesickness is a shallow strait,
我在这头 , I am here,
大陆在那头。 the mainland is there.
