68、与父书
To Deceased Father
玉上烟
by Yushangyan
爸爸,见你之前
我在半山坡的槐树林走了很久
人生至此
一草一木,都让我珍惜。这些年
我不比一株植物更富有
dad, before I see you
I've walked for a long while
in the pagoda grove on the hillside
alas, at this stage of my life
I cherish every grass and every tree
these years I'm not richer than a plant
现在,我是平常的妇人,值得信赖的母亲
我的言行使人放心。爸爸
再过几十年,我也会这样静静地躺下来
命运所赐的,都将一一归还
now, I'm a plain woman, a faithworthy mother
my words and deeds can set others' mind at rest
dad, several decades later, I'll also lie down silently
returning everything endowed by fate one by one
那时,除了几只起起落落的麻雀
或许
还有三两朵野花
淡淡地开
then, only several sparrows
fly up and down
or a few wild flowers
bloom at leisure
