那個三月某日的下午
日頭從山頂ㄔ亍到海底
我從太魯閣ㄔ亍到長春祠

右手那高陡的山壁
是誰給一刀劈成的
我不知道
我只知道
立霧溪是
給潺潺流水吟唱的
給原住民表演原始的

腳下這條蜿蜒山路
又是誰給流血滴汗的
我不知道
我只知道
碑和祠是
給築路的無名英雄建立的
給風景來相輝映的

我從太魯閣ㄔ亍到長春祠
日頭從山頂ㄔ亍到海底
在那個三月某日的下午

Sauntering to Eternal Spring Memorial Temple from Taroko　Hsu ChiCheng

In a certain afternoon of March
The sun sauntered to the seabed from the mountaintop
I sauntered to Eternal Spring Memorial Temple from Taroko

I didn’t know
By whom the right towering cliff was chopped
With one stroke of a sword
But only know that Fog-standing Stream sung
For the murmuring stream
And performed primitiveness
For the original inhabitants

I didn’t know
Who sweated their guts out
For opening the mountain path under my feet
I only know
The stele and the temple were all built
For the unsung heroes of roadbuilding
And they formed a delightful contrast with the scenery

I sauntered to Eternal Spring Memorial Temple from Taroko
And the sun sauntered to the seabed from the mountaintop
In a certain afternoon of March @
