58 To My Dear Mother

My dear Mother, why do you always look tired?
If I were a spirit, I'd bring you a bunch of roses
And drown your fatigue in their sweet scent.
My dear Mother, why is it always hard for you to sleep?
If I were a sleeping pill, I'd fall into your water glass and accompany you
throughout the night.
My dear Mother, why do you always frown?
If I were a joke book, I'd be open everyday
And make you laugh happily.
My dear Mother, you are always good to me.
When I graduate from school,
I will say, "I bless you forever!

致親愛的母親
我親愛的母親，您為什么看上去總是這樣疲憊？
如果我是個精靈，我愿帶給您一捧玫瑰
將您的疲倦淹沒在花的芬芳之中。
我親愛的母親，您為什么總是難以入眠？
如果我是安眠藥，我愿落入您的水杯，整夜陪伴著您。
我親愛的母親，您為什么總是皺著眉頭？
如果我是一本笑話書，我愿每天打開，讓你笑口常開。
我親愛的母親，你總是對我那么好。
當我畢業時，我將說，“我永遠為您祈禱。”
