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。
