老槐树下 秋水潋滟
还是那棵老槐树
身形已然憔悴
树干皲裂枝桠老
依檐默默低垂
树下几个小顽童
嘤嘤笑语翻飞
阶下依杖老阿婆
老眼迷茫相对
少年游子江湖老
阿婆休要怪罪
执手相忆当年事
嘘唏几多感喟
孙孙绕膝稚声噪
阿婆老手推推
快到村头望一望
看看你父归未？
Under the Old Pagoda Tree by Qiushui Lianyan ( Glittering Autumn Aqua )
The very pagoda tree so old still there stays
Whose physique has been pined away
With its truck chapped and branches worn
Is bowing against the eave no sway
A few of naughty kids around the tree, are
Chirping like birds and chasing fast
And some grandmas are standing by canes
Staring at one another all mist and vast
I had left my families young till middle-aged to earn
Dear grandmas do stop blaming me please
Now we clasp hands each other to recall those times
Who can not but sign and sob at unease
All the kids are scrambling at surrounding
When the grandmas give each a knock
Hurry, hurry, run to find at our village gate
Whether or not your papa is going back |
