題記
鋼花烙下舊年的熾熱心動(dòng)，晚霞鋪就余生的溫柔相守，跨越歲月的兩重心意，讓愛(ài)成為時(shí)光里永不熄滅的光。
視頻接通的剎那
暖意如麥芽糖融化
燙熱的甜，漫過(guò)血管
驅(qū)散所有疲憊的沙
春艷妹妹，你明亮的笑
是晨光，是春水
漾開(kāi)愛(ài)情最磅礴的浪花
回溯水鋼廠的年華
爐火映著屬豬的她——張飛娜曲
月牙眼，藏藍(lán)工裝
袖口挽著煙火的霞
兩顆水果糖，一顆塞我手
脆生生的甜，解乏
食堂里羊肉粉的辣
她把辣椒油，大半勻我咽下
夕陽(yáng)下，鋼花濺起金紅的紗
她輕靠肩頭，低語(yǔ)牽掛
“要是能一直這樣，就好啦”
命運(yùn)的風(fēng)，吹斷距離的紗
一枚鋼珠，磨得锃亮
“像我們的情，硬殼里藏過(guò)滾燙”
遺憾仍在，卻已釋然成疤
那些時(shí)光，是歲月的寶藏
暖得發(fā)燙，在記憶里發(fā)芽
兜兜轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，緣分再開(kāi)花
遇見(jiàn)屬豬的你，春艷妹妹呀
霜染鬢角的我，遇上風(fēng)華正茂的她
二十二載春秋，隔不開(kāi)心意牽掛
旁人的指點(diǎn)，不過(guò)是塵埃輕灑
我只在意，你笑靨是否如花
“哥哥”的嬌俏，“三哥”的家常
都是心底最暖的情話
想把余生余暉，都裹進(jìn)你的發(fā)
捧來(lái)四季不敗的芬芳，疊成歲月的帕
擇一處小院，有河有坡有晚霞
我牽你的手，坐在山坡下
粗糙掌心，摩挲細(xì)膩的牽掛
晚風(fēng)拂過(guò)，發(fā)絲繞頸的癢
甜了歲月，醉了年華
你指天邊晚霞，笑憶當(dāng)年闖蕩
“三哥，這風(fēng)景，像極了從前的向往”
我拂開(kāi)你額前的發(fā)，指尖輕觸耳旁
“再美的晚霞，不及你笑眼彎彎的光”
夕陽(yáng)把相擁的身影拉長(zhǎng)
年齡的刻度，在愛(ài)意里融化
鋼花燃過(guò)舊夢(mèng)的燙
晚霞照亮余生的長(zhǎng)
愛(ài)，是歲月最溫柔的回答
直到地老天荒，直到?？菔癄€
初心不忘，溫情綿長(zhǎng)

Love Between Steel Sparks and Sunset Glow
By Hometown Soil Affection
Epigraph
Steel sparks brand the fiery passion of bygone years,
Sunset glow paves the gentle companionship of the remaining life.
Two hearts spanning time and tide,
Let love be an unquenchable light in the river of time.
At the moment the video call connects,
Warmth melts like maltose sweet,
The scorching sweetness surges through veins,
Dispelling all the sand of weariness.
Sister Chunyan, your bright smile,
Is the morning light, is the spring water,
Stirring up the most magnificent waves of love.
Looking back on the years at Shuicheng Iron and Steel Factory,
The furnace fire shone on her, born in the Year of the Pig—Zhang Feinaqu.
With crescent eyes and a navy blue work uniform,
Her cuffs curled up like the glow of mortal life.
Two fruit candies, one stuffed into my hand,
Its crisp sweetness relieving fatigue.
The spiciness of lamb rice noodles in the cafeteria,
She poured most of the chili oil into my bowl.
Beneath the setting sun, steel sparks splashed like golden-red veils,
She leaned gently on my shoulder, whispering her cares:
"If only we could stay like this forever."
The wind of fate tore the veil of distance apart,
A steel bead, polished until shiny bright,
"Like our love, hard on the outside, once burning hot within."
Regret lingers, yet has faded into a scar of relief.
Those days are treasures of time,
Warm enough to burn, sprouting in memory.
Wandering through twists and turns, fate blooms again,
Meeting you, also born in the Year of the Pig, Sister Chunyan.
I, with frost-kissed sideburns, encounter her in her prime.
Twenty-two springs and autumns cannot separate our longing.
Others' gossip is but fleeting dust,
All I care about is whether your smile remains as bright as flowers.
The tender call of "Brother" and the daily "Third Brother",
Are the warmest love words in my heart.
I want to wrap all the twilight of my remaining life into your hair,
Bring a bunch of flowers blooming year-round, fold them into a handkerchief of time.
Choose a small courtyard by the river and beside the slope, where sunsets paint the sky.
I hold your hand, sitting at the foot of the slope,
My rough palm caressing the delicate longing,
The evening breeze blows, strands of hair brushing your neck with a tickle,
Sweetening the years, intoxicating the time.
You point to the sunset glow in the sky, smiling as you recall the struggles of the past:
"Third Brother, this scenery is just like the longing we had back then."
I brush the hair from your forehead, my fingertips gently touching your ear:
"No matter how beautiful the sunset glow is, it cannot match the light of your smiling eyes."
The setting sun stretches the embracing figures long,
The mark of age melts away in love's warmth.
Steel sparks burned the heat of old dreams,
Sunset glow illuminates the length of the remaining life.
Love is the gentlest answer of time,
Until the earth and sky crumble, until the seas dry up and rocks decay,
We shall hold fast to our original aspiration, and our tender affection shall linger on.
