  (中文)

  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。[2]

  (英文)

  When I was young,

  my homesickness was a small stamp,

  I was here,

  my mother was there.

  After growing up,

  my homesickness was a narrow ticket,

  I was here,

  my bride was there.

  Later,

  my homesickness was a little tomb,

  I was outside,

  my mother was inside.

  And now,

  my homesickness is a shallow strait,

  I am here,

  the mainland is there.
