《鄉愁》余光中

《鄉愁》是詩人余光中漂泊異鄉，遊弋於海外迴歸中國後所作的'一首現代詩。詩歌表達對故鄉，對祖國戀戀不捨的一份情懷。詩歌中更體現了詩人余光中期待中華民族早日統一的美好願望。

2015年中央電視台春節聯歡晚會上，雷佳演唱了由詩歌改編的歌曲《鄉愁》。

原文

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，

母親在裏頭。

而現在，

鄉愁是一灣淺淺的海峽，

我在這頭，

大陸在那頭。

英文譯文

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.
