〈客來小城〉鄭愁予詞、簡維政曲
I come to the town
“Coming to the Town”
Visitors Come to Town
三月臨幸這小城 春的事物堆綴著.......
Glad to this town in March So many marks of spring
March is luckily arriving to this small town / trimmed in the material of
spring
悠悠的流水如帶 在石橋下打著結子的，
The strap of babble stream Just like the tie under a stone bridge
Unhurried flowing ribbon of water / knotting under the stone bridge
而且 勞繫著那舊城樓的倒影的
And the shadow of an old town
And laboriously tying the reflection of the old gate tower
三月的綠色如流水......
The green like stream in March
As green as flowing March water…
客來小城，巷閭寂靜

2. I come to the town, the silence cover the alleys
Visitors come to town / the lane gate in quietness
客來門下，銅環的輕叩如鐘
I come to the door, the knocking sounds like a resounding bell
Visitors come on in the tap of the copper door-knocker is a bell
遠天飄飛的雲絮
The cloud like cotton full of the sky
Fluffy clouds float through distant skies
與一階落花..
The cloud like cotton full of the sky
With the dispersed leaves
With a step of fallen flowers…

2)〈小時候的願望〉My dream when I was a child.侯德建詞曲
“Childhood Wishes”
小時候我盼望著，傍晚時候刮著風；拉緊風箏，隨它飄上天。
I was looking forward to the wind breeze as night falls when I was a
child.
Tie the kite tight and let the kite fly up to the sky wherever.
*When I was a child I’d hope, in the evening the wind would blow;
holding onto a kite, and with it take flight into the sky
小時候我盼望著，暑假時候河水涼；盡情玩水，還有魚和蝦。
I was looking forward to the river cool in the summer time when I was a
child.
Spend time at the seaside where the fish and shrimp do live.
When I was a child I’d hope, the cool river waters during summer
holiday;
*Playing in the water as much as I’d like, with the fish and shrimp.
長大時，溜走歡笑、溜走童年、我變了，星夜在昏睡中去了。
Laughter fled. Childhood fled. The stars fell asleep.
I am not the person who I used to be after growing up.
*Growing up, slipping away is the laughter, slipping away is the
childhood, and I changed, the stars in the night sky slipped away in my
slumber.

4. 成熟了却也世故了，不再想做遊俠，曾想穿新鞋、如今有新鞋、却失
落了童年。
I am mature but sophisticated. I want to find a place where I belong.
How can I feel empty even though I have great achievement in my life.
*Becoming mature but sophisticated, no longer a maverick, once wanted
new shoes, and now have got them, yet lost my childhood
小時候我盼望著，放學時候天還亮；放下書包，廟前玩彈珠。
I was looking forward to the bright sky even after school when I was a
child.
Drop my bag at home then run out to the temple to play marbles.
*When I was a child I’d hope, the sky was still bright after school, put
down my schoolbag, played marbles in front of the temple
小時候我盼望著，夜深時候滿天星；明朝天晴，夢裏也歡笑。
I was looking forward to the stars sprinkling over the night.
Tomorrow will be fine. My dream will be full of smiles.
*When I was a child I’d hope, the sky was full of stars late at night, the
clear sky in the morning, laughter even in dreams

像人群一般的擁擠呢

down

When satiety arrives / Then their eyes are closed in death.

with filial piety
*Foolish, tender-hearted parents / In the world are very many --
Filial and obedient children, / Who has ever met with any?
