Nostalgia
〔 乡 愁 〕
小时候，
乡愁是一枚小小的邮票，
我在这头，
母亲在那头。
When I was young,
Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp,
Me on this side,
Mother on the other side.
长大后，
乡愁是一张窄窄的船票，
我在这头，
新娘在那头。
When I grew up,
Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,
Me on this side,
Bride on the other side.
后来啊，
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓，
我在外头，
母亲在里头。
But later on,
Nostalgia was a lowly grave,
Me on the outside,
Mother on the inside.
而现在，
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡，
我在这头，
大陆在那头。
And at present,
Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,
Me on this side,
Mainland on the other side.
《乡愁》其它译本
Homesick
赵俊华译
As a boy,
I was homesick for a tiny stamp,
I was here,
Mom lived alone over there.
When grow 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.
Nostalgia
杨钟琰译
When I was a child,
Nostalgia seemed a small stamp:
Here am I and there my mother.
Then I was a grown-up,
Nostalgia became a traveling ticket
Here am I and there my bride.
During the later years
Nostalgia turned to be a graveyard
Here am I and yonder my mother.
And now at present，
Nostalgia looms large to be a channel
Here am I
and yonder my continent!
My Homesickness
朱曼华译
During my childhood,
My homesickness was a small stamp,
To mail to my mother far away,
From which I stay.
When I grew up,
It changed into a shipping ticket,
A little bit narrow,
To help me sail meet my bride by boat.
And then,
My homesickness turned into a lower tomb.
Outside the tomb I was standing dumb,
Inside it my mother lived as her home.
But now,
My homesickness means the sea beach is shallow.
Still I am on this shore instead of the mainland shore,
Though the sea strait is narrow.
