《妈妈》
Mama
当我认识你,我十岁
When I knew you I was ten
你三十五,你是团团脸的妈妈
and you were thirty-five, my round-faced mama
你的爱是满满的一盆洗澡水
your love was like a tub of warm water
暖暖的,几乎把我浮起来
so warm it almost made me float
但是有一度
But then
你把慈爱
you stopped your love, you
关了,又旋紧
screwed it tight, perhaps, you thought
也许你想,孩子长大了,不必再爱
the child is grown now, she needs no more love
也许,根本没有灾难
perhaps it wasn't a disaster at all
也许妈妈无心的差错
perhaps a mother's unintentional wrong
是我的最大灾难
has been my greatest misfortune
等我把病病好
When I had fully recovered from my illness
我三十五
I was thirty-five
你刚好六十
and you had just turned sixty
又看到你,团团脸的妈妈
once again I see you, my round-faced mama
好像一世,只是两照面
it seems in life we only show our faces when we meet
你在一端给
you are always the giver
我在一端取
and I, the taker
这回你是流泉,我是池塘
this time you were the spring and I the pond
你是落泪的流泉
You the spring of tears
我是幽静的池塘
I the tranquil pond
