家門口 - 蕭煌奇 перевод на английский

家門口

火車窗外夜星在閃爍 遠飛才有寬闊的天空
搶摘的花結果沒有 少哭代表懂事得多
擠進高聳的大廈躲風 朝高處墊起腳尖築夢
可命運老鬆脫 教人踩空 跌落

也想聽你聲音 電話那頭 扯嗓門嘮叨我
只怕說我很好 一轉身後 被哽咽聲戳破

有天夢見家門口 強忍鼻酸的笑容
喊聲我回來了 飯菜香 叫口水比淚水先流
有誰離開家門口 真捨得摯愛挽留
遠離病累苦痛 求上天保佑

捧著冬夜一碗湯暖和 忘了些世事冷暖顛簸
圍板凳說故事 說著打鼾 入夢

也想聽你聲音 電話那頭 扯嗓門嘮叨我
只怕說我很好 一轉身後 被哽咽聲戳破

有天夢見家門口 強忍鼻酸的笑容
喊聲我回來了 飯菜香 叫口水比淚水先流
有誰離開家門口 真捨得爸媽守候
遠離病累苦痛 求上天保佑 比我快樂

有天夢見家門口 挽著滿皺紋的手
埋怨這些年來 多少夜 擔心著偷哭醒惡夢
今天要回家門口 一秒像比一年久
手指山的那頭 有人在等我
那永遠敞開著 我的家門口

Homecoming

The night stars twinkle outside the train window. Traveling far and wide broadens the sky.
Plucking flowers yields no fruit. Crying less means being more mature.
I squeezed into a towering skyscraper to escape the wind. I tiptoed up high to weave my dreams.
But fate loosened and caused me to miss a step and fall.

I want to hear your voice. Yell at me on the phone.
I’m afraid of saying I’m fine and then having my choked voice expose me.

One day I dreamed of my doorstep. I held back the tears and smiled.
I shouted, “I’m home.” The aroma of food made my saliva flow before the tears could.
Who would leave their doorstep? Who could bear to leave those who love them behind?
Far away from illness, pain, and suffering, I beg the heavens to bless you.

Holding a warm bowl of soup on a winter night, I forgot about the ups and downs of life.
We sat around the table telling stories until we snored and fell asleep.

I want to hear your voice. Yell at me on the phone.
I’m afraid of saying I’m fine and then having my choked voice expose me.

One day I dreamed of my doorstep. I held back the tears and smiled.
I shouted, “I’m home.” The aroma of food made my saliva flow before the tears could.
Who could leave their doorstep? Who could bear to leave their parents waiting for them?
Far away from illness, pain, and suffering, I beg the heavens to bless you. May you be happier than me.

One day I dreamed of my doorstep. I held your wrinkled hand.
I complained about all those years ago when I woke you with my nightmares.
Today I’m coming home. Every second feels like a year.
The mountain is pointing to where someone is waiting for me.
My home is always open for you.
