月娘袂記哩轉來
天色暗了
月娘煞袂記哩轉來
一粒一粒ê山崙
著急甲躡跤尾看對遠遠去
一欉一欉ê樹仔 甲 擛手
叫月娘緊轉來
溪邊ê菅芒
拜託風 四界送白花做ê批
叫月娘緊轉來
The moon forgets to go home
The sky has darkened
But the moon forgets to go home
A chain of mountains
Anxiously stand on tip toe to look afar
A forest of trees wave their arms in greeting
Hurry back, Moon
Reeds by the river
Beg the Wind Send out our white flower letters
Tell Moon to hurry home
來到達瑪巒
來到達瑪巒
公雞先在橋上
「ㄍㄨㄛ˙ ㄍㄨㄛ˙ ㄍㄟ 」歡迎你
射日、百步蛇織布、
螃蟹大戰長蛇
神話故事從故事牆跑出來
碰撞 你心底的柔軟
巴庫拉斯祖靈地
山林的大獵場
激盪 你腦海的追尋
來到達瑪巒
看見布農的淳樸 開闊
註：達瑪巒:南投信義鄉地利村的舊名，意指公雞，布農族祭典中斬
公雞祭拜，祈求福祉。於是，公雞體格健壯、雞冠紅潤等，也是
象徵部落的生命力旺盛。大約五六年前，我與蔡榮勇到南投縣信
義鄉地利國小幫忙帶領小布農認識布農神話與傳說，再以自己的
感受寫兒童詩，並出版《布農小詩人》童詩繪本。
Coming to Kava Ridge
Coming to Kava Ridge
The rooster is first at the bridge
“Cock a doodle doo” welcomes you
Brave men shooting down the sun
Hundred pace snakes weave
Crab and snake make war
Mythical tales emerge from the story wall
Nudge at The soft pit of your heart
Holy grounds of Baku Las ancestors
Vast hunting grounds in the mountain forest
Stir up Pursuits in your brain
Coming to Kava Ridge
See the simplicity
Observe the openness
Of Bunun life
