If we watch their lips smile, singing the same lullaby a thousand times
如果我們看著她們微笑的、唱著已經唱過一千次歌曲的嘴唇,
If we watch their arms wrapped around the baby's back and cradle made from pads and paws
如果我們看著她們抱嬰兒的手臂,還有輕拍嬰兒的手掌和搖籃
we might realize how beautiful our mothers bodies are
我們或許就會發現,媽媽的身體有多美。
If we watch that their thighs straight down streets pushing strollers praying tirelessly
如果我們看著她們走在街上的腿,推著嬰兒車,希望孩子睡得好
Or the tiptoes of their feet has a sneak in to tuck in kid or sheet
或是她們墊著的腳尖,進房把孩子踢開的棉被蓋好
when all their body longs for is one hot coffee
她們那疲憊的身體只渴望一杯熱咖啡
We might realize how beautiful a mother skin can be
我們或許會發現,媽媽的皮膚有多美。
If we watch their legs gallop horses around a thousand laughing playtime tracks
如果我們看著她們時常陪孩子玩兒的腿,
their backbones arching climbing frames and hold up tired piggybacks
她們那彎曲的、爬著架子又背著孩子的脊背,
As a mother's hug feels like the touch they never want to give away
還有孩子永遠都不想放開的媽媽的擁抱,
We might realized the beauty that our mother's body makes
我們也許就會發現媽媽的身體能帶來的美好
And the days fades to nights again
她們從日出到日落
smiles hiding weaks because they have not stopped for week on week
都用微笑掩飾著哭泣,因為她們無時無刻都不能休息。
Fingers tuck in baby's sheet.
她們的手指要幫孩子蓋被子。
Their lips moving forward children's dreams with one last kiss
用嘴唇親吻著孩子,道聲晚安。
We might realize how beautiful the mother's body is.
我們也許就會發現媽媽的身體有多美。
