清貧的月光多麼慷慨

How rich the penniless moonlight

灑滿光輝的庭院裏

spills over the courtyard

孩子靜靜成長

where a child grows unseen.

外婆活著，燕子啣泥

Grandma still alive, swallows’ beaks

記憶的螢火熠熠閃爍

bearing earth to nests.

我掉落的第一顆牙齒

Memory lights its fireflies.

硌痛歲月的青苔

My first lost tooth

chaws the mossy past.

哦，童真的庭院在時光中鮮活

狗輕吠，水井照看星星

Time revives this courtyard,

葡萄藤歡樂的觸須

the dog’s yip soft, the well cradling its stars.

伸進夢境……

Tendrils of these grapevines

twine their joy in dreams.
