Let's take a look at the English version of Yu Kuang-chuang's Nostalgia.

Nostalgia

by Yu Kuang-chuang

When I was a child,

Nostalgia seemed a small stamp:

Here am I

And there, my mother.

Then I was a grown-up,

Nostalgia became a traveling ticket:

Here am I

And there, my bride.

During the later years,

Nostalgia turned to be a graveyard:

Here am I

And yonder, my mother.

And now at present,

Nostalgia looms large to be a channel:

Here am I

And yonder, my Continent!
