The Baby’s First Cry Hsu ChiCheng

The baby’s first tender cry
Has dispelled cat-on-hot-bricks worries of the parents
Whose long-awaited waiting is satisfied
All shadows disappear

Though tender and feeble, the baby’s cry
Contains boundless strength
To open blossoms on the faces of all relatives

The baby’s first cry is a well
A mountain picks up its height from the baby’s first cry
A brilliance is enlightened by the baby’s first cry
A heap of harvest is made from the baby’s first cry

All in all, good is the baby’s first cry
Which would cure a deaf ear

中文原詩如后:

       一聲嬰啼    許其正

一聲稚嫩的嬰啼

驅走了熱鍋上螞蟻般的焦慮

使長久的等待獲得滿足

所有暗影全都煙消雲散

嬰啼聲雖小而稚嫩

卻具有無限的大力量

讓所有親人的臉綻放花朵

嬰啼其實是一口井

湧出源源不絕的歡樂之泉

嬰啼其實是初升的太陽

散發出無限光芒和溫熱

一棵大樹是由一聲嬰啼長成的

一座大山是由一聲嬰啼堆高的

一片燦爛是由一聲嬰啼點亮的

一堆豐收是由一聲嬰啼培植的

總之，嬰啼絕對是好的

誰都樂於聽到這一聲嬰啼
