【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.

【《鄉愁》】

余光中(1928生—2017卒)

                小時候，

                鄉愁是一枚小小的郵票，

                我在這頭，

                母親在那頭。

                長大後，

                鄉愁是一張窄窄的船票，

                我在這頭，

                新娘在那頭。

                後來啊，

                鄉愁是一方矮矮的墳墓，

                我在外頭，

                母親在裡頭。

                而現在，

                鄉愁是一灣淺淺的海峽，

                我在這頭，

                大陸在那頭。
