7, 一欉小花蕊---臺英雙語童詩

[李秀]

一欉驚惶的小花蕊
佇狂風暴雨的凌治中走頭無路
伊一心一意想欲轉去厝走避
但是大滴大滴的雨水阻擋伊的路
風大港大港共伊刁工掠稠咧
害伊毋知欲按怎脫離災厄
伊親像新婦仔浸佇土跤隨在人摧殘

好佳在! 阿母隔工綴日頭伯仔來看伊
伊趕緊投入阿母的懷抱內
司奶踅呀踅
踅過咋昏的驚惶
踅過咋昏的委曲
伊閣再恢復以前的嬌軟佮美麗

A small frightened flower
Has been struggling against a violent storm
She wants to go home
But the rain hides the way home
And the wind blows her back
She is so scared that she is crying her eyes out

Fortunately, Mother draws out the early sun to visit her
She runs in a great hurry to throw herself in mother’s arms
Wanting to be spoiled and comforted
After getting away from yesterday’s storm
And warming herself in her mother’s love
She become beautiful again
