Bow & Knot Hsu ChiCheng

Several decades have passed
Still they often come here
Still she wears a bowknot on her hair
Still he catches at her bowknot time and again
Still the two faces are beaming with smiles
Without any change
The same as decades ago

Several decades have passed
Still they remember the scene
When they were innocent children
Faces beaming with smiles
They were playing in flowers, catching at butterflies
It was at the height of spring
When the sun shines, and spring wind blows
He sees a butterfly and catches at it
Only to catch the bowknot on her hair

He is surprised, and she more
What she wears on her hair is emotion, and what he catches is emotion too
Since that time onwards the two go in company with each other
From childhood to youthhood to the prime of life …
Still they go in company
Still they often come here
Still the two faces are beaming with smiles
Still it is at the height of spring

Day after day, month after month, year after year
Decades, several decades have passed
Several decades have passed, and several decades are to come
Still they make up their mind to go in company
Still they make up their mind to often come here
Still she wears a bowknot on her hair
Still he catches at her bowknot time and again
From year to year, and from year to year …

中文原詩如后:

         蝴蝶．結    許其正

都幾十年了

他們還是常來這裡

她的頭髮還是綁著蝴蝶結

他還是時不時出手抓她的蝴蝶結

兩人臉上還是堆滿盈盈的笑

沒有改變

和幾十年前一個樣

都幾十年了

他們還記得那時的情景

那時他們還是懵懂少年

臉上堆滿盈盈的笑

他們在花間嬉戲，追捕蝴蝶

正是春天時候

金陽普照，春風送爽

他看準一隻蝴蝶追上去抓

卻抓到她頭髮上綁著的蝴蝶結

他驚愕了，她更驚愕了

她頭髮上綁的是情，他抓的也是

兩人從此結伴在一起

由少年而青年而壯年……

他們還是結在一起

他們還是常來這裡

兩人臉上還是堆滿盈盈的笑

日子一直是春天時候

日日，月月，年年

幾十年了，都幾十年了

幾十年已過去，幾十年還會再來

他們打定主意還是要結在一起

他們打定主意還是要常來這裡

她的頭髮還是要綁蝴蝶結

他還是要時不時出手抓她的蝴蝶結

一年又一年，一年又一年……
