上海 一九四三

泛黄的春联还残留在墙上
依稀可见几个字岁岁平安
在我没回去过的老家米缸
爷爷用楷书写一个满

黄金葛爬满了雕花的门窗
夕阳斜斜映在斑驳的砖墙
铺着榉木板的屋内还弥漫
姥姥当年酿的豆瓣酱

我对着黑白照片开始想像 爸和妈当年的模样
说着一口吴侬软语的姑娘 缓缓走过外摊

消失的旧时光一九四三 在回忆的路上时间变好慢
老街坊小弄堂是属于那年代白墙黑瓦的淡淡的忧伤
消失的旧时光一九四三 回头看的片段有一些风霜
老唱盘旧皮箱装满了明信片的铁盒里藏着一片玫瑰花瓣

黄金葛爬满了雕花的门窗
夕阳斜斜映在斑驳的砖墙
铺着榉木板的屋内还弥漫
姥姥当年酿的豆瓣酱

我对着黑白照片开始想像 爸和妈当年的模样
说着一口吴侬软语的姑娘 缓缓走过外摊

消失的旧时光一九四三 在回忆的路上时间变好慢
老街坊小弄堂是属于那年代白墙黑瓦的淡淡的忧伤
消失的旧时光一九四三 回头看的片段有一些风霜
老唱盘旧皮箱装满了明信片的铁盒里藏着一片玫瑰花瓣


Shanghai 1943

The yellowed Spring Festival couplets are still left on the wall,
And a few words are faintly visible: “peace every year”.
On the rice barrel in my hometown which I haven’t gone back to yet,
Grandpa wrote a word “full” in regular script1.

Pothos had grown over the carved doors and windows.
Sunset slanting on the mottled brick wall.
The house with beech wood floors is still filled with,
The smell of the chili bean paste2 made by grandma in those years.

Looking at the black-and-white photos, I began to imagine what my dad and mom looked like in that year.
The lady who spoke Suzhou soft dialect3 walked slowly across the Bund4.

The old time passed, 1943, time became so slow on the way to memories.
Old neighbourhoods and Old alleys belonged to the faint sadness of that era’s white walls and black tiles.
The old time passed, 1943, there was some wind and frost in the past that I look back on.
In the old CD, in the old suitcase, in the iron box full of postcards, there was a rose petal hidden.
