Nostagia

When I was young,

Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp,

Me on this side,

Mother on the other side.

When I grew up,

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,

Me on this side,

My bride on the other side.

But later on,

Nostalgia was a lowly grave,

Me on the outside,

Mother on the inside.

And at present,

Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,

Me on this side,

Mainland on the other side.



鄉愁.

余光中

小時候，

鄉愁是一枚小小的郵票，

我在這頭，

母親在那頭。

長大后，

鄉愁是一張窄窄的船票，

我在這頭，

新娘在那頭。

后來啊，

鄉愁是一方矮矮的墳墓，

我在外頭，

母親在里頭。

而現在，

鄉愁是一灣淺淺的海峽，

我在這頭，

大陸在那頭。
