Homesickness

In my childhood, homesickness was a little stamp,
linking Mother at the other end and me this.

When I grew up, homesickness was a narrow ship ticket,
linking bride at the other end and me this.

Thereafter, homesickness was a short grave,
linking me outside and Mother inside.

And nowadays, homesickness is a shallow strait,
linking me on this coast and Mainland that.
中文歌词

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。
