紀念我的奶奶

To the memory of my grandma

 

I don’t want to say goodbye,

Because I will cry,

In a secret conner,

Where I can hide

 

When I was young 

and eager to explore around,

When hometown is far-land and far-land becomes hometown,

I never think about choose,

 just keep going on

 

If I could begin again,

I would not leave hometown again,

I want my grandkids’ chicken coop

Can see my tomb,

I know I am always home

Never leave one step

奶奶2003年去世，我在外地沒能趕回，一直心有遺憾。上過墳一次後，家裏的女孩子按家鄉的風俗就不能再去上墳。奶奶的墳地偎依著家鄉的河，我小時候經常去玩的地方。不遠處是堂兄包的地，他們當時有一塊地專門用來飼養雞。讓我感到些許的安慰。
