歸途 On My Way Home
星熒
駕著你熟悉的「風娥」(Volvo)
聽罷你喜愛的情歌
這孤單的回家路上喲!
惱人是太多歸家的車隊
靜悄是萬千閃爍的燈火
Driving your1 familiar Volvo,
Finishing listening to the love songs you favor,
I am alone on my way home.
Annoying me are those many anxious cars rushing on their way home.
Silent are the myriads of twinkling lights.
(星熒1978 年 感恩節 前夜著于美國 加州 La Jolla. 2007 年 6月修訂並譯成英文于美國 加州娜荷雅。)
