余光中; Yu Guangzhong - 乡愁 歌词翻译

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.

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。
