握着母亲的手

父亲不在了
母亲成了家的唯一
每次回济南
与母亲的相聚
除了匆匆还是匆匆
儿时,母亲用柴禾烧大锅
那一口锅和母亲的双手
是一家人的温暖和依靠
长大后
母亲在哪里
哪里就是家
穿梭的车流
往来的人群
没有人会在意谁
城市的繁华
隐没了太多乡情
高楼耸立里封闭了太多人心
母亲的手啊
一双饱经沧桑的累伤了的手
那双手,割过麦子、种过黄豆
那双手,拾过柴、挖过药
那双手,种过庄稼、捡过粮食
那双手,曾一日三餐烧火做饭
那双手,纳过鞋底缝补过衣裳
那双手啊
吃过多少苦
受过多少累
早已数不清了
如今日子好了
母亲的手已青筋裸露
母亲在哪里
哪里就是暖
握着母亲的手
再也不想松开

Holding Mother’s Hand
By Jiang Lan (China)
Tr. Zhongquan (USA)
Modified and bilingual recited by Mary (HK, China)
My father passed away
Mother now is the only suppoter
for the family
Every time I return to Jinan city
Reunion with mother
It’s always in a haste
When I was a kid
To prepare the food, my mother
Burnt the cauldron with firewood
My mother's hands and the cauldron
Were the warmth and dependance of the whole family
When I grow up
Where is mother
Where is my home
Shuttle traffic
People come and go
No one cares who you are
Too much nostalgia has been hidden
Behind the prosperity of the city
Too many people's hearts are blocked in the tall buildings
Mother's hand
A pair of hands with scars that have experienced Too much vicissitudes
Her hands harvested wheat,
planted soybeans
Her hands gathered firewood, dug
medicinal herbs
Her hands
Planted crops, collected wheatear
Her hands cooked three meals a day
Her hands stitched the soles of shoes
and mended clothes
That pair of hands
How much they have been suffered
How much hardships they have been
experienced
It's hardly to be counted
Now we enjoy much better life
Mother's hands are blue and veined
Where is my mother, where is warm
Holding mother's hand
I would never release my hand
