Mother 母親

If I could give you diamonds, for each tear you cried for me

If I could give you sapphires, for each truth you’ve helped me see

If I could give you rubies, for the heartache that you’ve known

If I could give you pearls, for the wisdom that you’ve shown

Then you’ll have a treasure, mother

that would mount up to the skies

That would almost match the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes

But I have no pearls, no diamonds

as I’m sure you’re well aware

So I’ll give you gifts more precious, my devotion, love and care
 

如果能
把你為我流的每滴眼淚化成鉆石贈于你
把每個透過你讓我看清的真理變為藍寶石贈于你
把你對我的操心換作紅寶石贈于你
把你顯露的睿智結成珍珠贈于你
那么
你將擁有直追浩瀚宇宙的財富
幾乎與你眼中閃爍的慈祥和關愛相近
但是
您知道我沒有珍珠和鉆石
所以
我將獻上我更寶貴的禮物
對您無比投入的熱愛及關懷
