To My Dear Son

By Greenwood

 

My heart is an ocean and

You are the water in the ocean.

 

I love to watch you-

Changing colors;

That lightens me up.

Making waves;

That wipes away my worries.

Chasing winds;

That brings me joy.

And pounding shores;

That raises my heartbeat.

 

Everything you do

You put a smile on my face;

Everything you touch

You leave a memory in me.

 

I am not me without you

As an ocean is not an ocean without water.

Do Re Mi, The Sound of Music, By Christopher Lin •Nov 12, 2012

 

致我亲爱的儿子

 

英文作者 青 木

中文翻译 花照水

 

我心似大海

儿子

你就是那海中水

我享受

你的方方面面

 

水色流转变换

我心欣喜舒展

碧波荡漾粼动

我心烦恼消散

浪花追逐风儿

我心陶醉流连

海浪拍岸翻涌

我心和唱共鸣

 

你的一切

都使我开心欣慰

你的成长点滴

我都珍藏记忆

 

没有你

我不再是我

就像海洋

没有海水的灵动

就没有大海的浩瀚深邃
