劉文正 - 童年

knowhow

池塘邊的榕樹上　知了在聲聲叫著夏天
操場邊的鞦韆上　只有蝴蝶停在上面
黑板上老師的粉筆　還在拼命嘰嘰喳喳寫個不停
等待著下課　等待著放學　等待遊戲的童年

福利社裏面什麼都有　就是口袋裏沒有半毛錢
諸葛四郎和魔鬼黨　到底誰搶到那支寶劍
隔壁班的那個女孩　怎麼還沒經過我的窗前
嘴裏的零食　手裏的漫畫　心裏初戀的童年

沒有人知道為什麼　太陽總下到山的那一邊
沒有人能夠告訴我　山裏面有沒有住著神仙
多少的日子裏　總是一個人面對著天空發呆
就這麼好奇　就這麼幻想　這麼孤單的童年

總是要等到睡覺前　才知道功課只作了一點點
總是要等到考試以後　才知道該唸的書都沒有唸
一寸光陰一寸金　老師說過寸金難買寸光陰
一天又一天　一年又一年　迷迷糊糊的童年
一天又一天　一年又一年　盼望長大的童年

A Banyan tree near the pond, a cicada is calling the rhythm of summer
A swing near the playground, only a butterfly is stopping by
On the blackboard, the teacher's chalk is still writing non-stop
Waiting for recess, waiting for the end of school day, waiting to play in my childhood years

Canteen has everything but I do not have money in my pocket
Zhu Gesilang (comic character) and the devil - who finally captured the sword?
Why the girl in next class has not passed through my window?
With mouth full of candy, hands with comic books, starting to have my first love in childhood years

No one knows why the sun always sets down on that side of the mountain
No one can tell me if there is a god inside the forest
How many days I watched the sky alone by myself
So much curiosity, so much fantasy, and a lonely childhood years

Always have to wait until bedtime to know only a little bit of homework was done
Always have to wait until the end of a test to find out the book reading was not completed

An inch of time and an inch of gold
The teacher said an inch of gold couldn't buy an inch of time
Day after day, year after year, a blurry childhood years
Day after day, year after year, looking forward to become a grown up childhood years
