Mother

歌词

My mother would dance sometimes

母亲有时会跳会儿舞

Believing herself alone

当她确信四下无人后

But through a slightly open door

但透过轻掩的门扉

I would watch her as she turned

我能欣赏她的舞姿

Turned round, round,

一圈一圈轻轻旋转

Briefly unbound

自由自在无拘无束

My mother played and sang sometimes

母亲有时会弹唱一曲

Believing herself alone

四下无人静悄悄

But through a slightly open door

透过那轻掩的门扉

I could see her face upturned

我能看到她微扬的脸庞

Songs long learned

古老的歌谣

So long untuned

那么久远的陈年小调

I was her only audience

我是她唯一的隐身听众

She believes herself alone

四下无人静悄悄

My applause should have been rapturous

我本应为母亲热烈鼓掌

But I close the door

但我还是轻轻掩上了门

And turned, turned away

转身轻轻离开，有一份爱叫不去打扰
