【Nostalgia】

Guangzhong Yu (1928—2017)

            When I was young, 

            Nostalgia was a tiny stamp, 

            Me on this side, 

            Mother on the other side.

            When I grew up, 

            Nostalgia was a narrowboat ticket, 

            Me on this side, 

            Bride on the other side.

            But later on, 

            Nostalgia was a low, low 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.

【《乡愁》】

余光中(1928生—2017卒)

                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。
