Текст и перевод песни 黃耀明 - 母親 II

母親 II

似费了一世纪的心血的中午
在你喘息中等我啼哭声是多辛苦
茫茫情海终于涌出我身体发肤
无从挑选中不讲条件地照顾。
上课作文里母亲的爱早写过
但你仓促的皱纹我却未摸清楚
从前怀中躯体今天隔开得更疏
仍然年轻的亲心竟时刻感染我
但看吧母亲 我是平凡的众生
没理由母亲 爱情都不可这样真
你爱我竟似我苦恋那些经过
大概坚贞的感情永远就似拔河
然而如不开心不想你知得太多
假使出生不能开心何必有我
但看吧母亲 我是平凡的众生
没理由母亲 爱情都不可这样真
上课作文里母亲的爱可写过
但你沧桑的皱纹永远没法还原
从前怀中躯体今天隔开得更疏
沧桑的双手仍可抱紧这一个我
仿佛中可返回当初怀中温暖我

Mother II

Like the blood sweat and tears of a century's worth of noons
How arduous it must have been to wait for my cries amidst your labored breaths
From the vast sea of emotions, I finally emerged with my flesh and blood
Unconditionally, without hesitation, you cared for me.
In school essays, I wrote about a mother's love
But the wrinkles that etched your face so prematurely, I failed to comprehend.
Once cradled in your arms, today, distance separates us
Your heart, still youthful, manages to touch mine in every moment
But behold, Mother, I am a mere mortal
Is there any reason why a mother's love should be so unwavering?
You love me as though I were the love of your life, the one that got away
Perhaps true love will always be a tug-of-war
But if I'm not happy, I don't want you to know too much
If being born couldn't bring happiness, why was I born at all?
But behold, Mother, I am a mere mortal
Is there any reason why a mother's love should be so unwavering?
In school essays, I wrote about a mother's love
But the wrinkles that mark your face, time can never erase
Once cradled in your arms, today, distance separates us
Your weathered hands can still hold me close
As if, in their embrace, I could be returned to the warmth of your womb
