给我一瓢长江水啊长江水

酒一样的长江水

醉酒的滋味

是乡愁的滋味

给我一瓢长江水啊长江水

给我一张海棠红啊海棠红

血一样的海棠红

沸血的烧痛

给我一张海棠红啊海棠红

给我一片雪花白啊雪花白

信一样的雪花白

家信的等待

是乡愁的等待

给我一片雪花白啊雪花白

给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香

母亲一样的腊梅香

母亲的芬芳

是乡土的芬芳

Four Stanzas on Homesickness

Yu Guangzhong

Give me a scoop of the Yangzi River, oh, the Yangzi

River like wine

The taste of drunkenness

Is the taste of homesickness

Give me a scoop of the Yangzi River, oh, the Yangzi

Give me a red hibiscus, oh, red hibiscus

Hibiscus as red as blood

The scalding pain of seething blood

Is the scalding pain of homesickness

Give me a red hibiscus, oh, red hibiscus

Give me a white snowflake, oh, white snowflake

Snowflake as white as a letter

To wait for a letter from home

Is to wait feeling homesick

Give me a white snowflake, oh, white snowflake

Give me a fragrant plum blossom, oh, plum blossom

Plum blossom as fragrant as Mother

Mother’s fragrance

Is the fragrance of my native soil

Give me a fragrant plum blossom, oh, plum blossom
