许其正：彩绘晚霞

退休那天，我突然惊觉

太阳已经西斜

氛围异常

哦，岁月已经黄昏了

此后，每天每天

我观赏夕阳在天边

将战后婴儿潮的迟暮

彩绘成五彩缤纷的晚霞

以他们年轻时的拼劲

心中不禁蠢蠢欲动

乃鼓起余勇

奋力举起我的笔

驱动我年轻时的拼劲

和他们一样

彩绘我缤纷的晚霞

每天每天……

退休没什么不好

黄昏没什么不好

我照样可以彩绘

──虽则彩绘的是晚霞

却能彩绘得更为美好

Painting the Afterglow　Hsu ChiCheng

It surprised me as soon as I retired that

The sun was declined

And the breath is unusual

O , the years was about dusk

Thereafter, I appreciated every day

The declined sun painted

The baby flow after world war

Into colors of the afterglow

With the youth fought tooth and nail

I had been shaken in my mind

Therefore I encouraged myself

Raised my pen

Drived my strength

Painting the colors of the afterglow

Day after day

As they did

Retirement doesn’t what bad

Dusk doesn’t what bad

I can paint still

–Though it’s painting the afterglow

It can paint better@
