离乡

离乡那条路
是一道纤绳
这头背在我肩上
那头　拴着我童年的全部
无论我走到哪儿
它都拽着我
走得越远
肩头越重

你我虽各在两头
却从未分开过
我携着你的积淀
你牵着我的乡愁
那纤绳上荡漾的
是生命交响的节奏


Hometown Leaving

The road that takes me away from my hometown
Is a tow rope
This end strapped on my shoulder
The other tied to my childhood
Wherever I go
It clings
And the farther I go
The heavier my shoulder feels

Although at different ends
We are never separated
I carry what you’ve rooted in me
And by my nostalgia you seize me
What makes the rope vibrate
Is a jointly performed symphony of life

Is it better to put the title as Away From Hometown?

未尝不可，但是否更好很难说。我要的是一根动态的纤绳（Hometown Leaving），而 away from hometown 已置身家乡外的某地，相对静止。

谢谢留言！

then, better use "Leaving Hometown".

Both "jumping high" and "high jumping" work. "High jumping" is used for nominalization effect, since it serves as a title.
