试译小诗一首

正

汉英

汉英兄，并各位方家

初涉贵网，竟引起了兴趣，引起了乡情，夜不成寐，披衣而起，谨借贵方宝地，录近译小诗一首，遥寄我国内的老母，也算 Mother's Day 的礼物，并请各位指正。

是本城一位歌唱家，举办个人独唱音乐会前嘱译的，草草应命，印在了节目单上。歌名作者，没有注意，不敢写中文，怕弄错，好在很流行，大家会知道。(大致叫故乡的小河，或这就是我。)

That Is Me!

I miss the river in my hometown,
And the mill by it singing all day long.
Oh-Mama,
When you see a spray smiling to you,
That is me, that is me, that's me around.

I miss the cooking-smoke in my hometown,
And the road to the country fair with ox-carts passing along.
Oh-Mama,
When you hear a flute singing to you,
That is me, that is me, that's me around.

I miss the lights on fishing boats in my hometown,
And the shells buried in the sand with the waves beyond.
Oh-Mama,
When you see a little boat sailing to you,
That is me, that is me, that's me around.

I miss the moon in my hometown,
And the mountains mirrored in waters without a sound.
Oh-Mama,
When you hear a melody from faraway coming to you,
That is me, that is me, that's me around.
