Mom Knows Best            翻译  田 磊

When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.

When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.

When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.

When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.

When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.

But I talked back loudly，“I should be allowed to eat some!Give it to me now！”

When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it'd give me awful dreams.

But I shouted back angrily，“I should be allowed to watch it!I'm not a baby！”

When I was a teen going out with friends, she said，“Please be back by ten！”

But I talked back again —―“I should not be told what to do!I'm seventeen now！”

Now I'm an adult, thinking back to those times.

I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream

And had scary dreams after watching that film.

I was late for school from staying out past ten.

I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.

Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best！

妈妈最懂我

幼时在襁褓，整夜哭又闹，妈妈守身边，唱歌逗我笑。

饥渴醒来早，精疲力已耗，给我喂食物，拥我入怀抱。

两岁在外跑，穿梭在禾苗，让我离险境，安全她确保。

跌倒躺在地，受伤又哭泣，紧紧抱着我，扶我要站好。

七岁真淘气，咳嗽难入睡，严词叮咛我，冷饮要远离。

而我不听劝，大声来顶嘴，“现在就要吃，必须我满意！”

九岁看电影，尤爱恐怖片，妈妈告诫我，噩梦会来缠。

我却更愤怒，顶撞更严厉，“我已不小了，应该让我看！”

到了青少年，约友外面玩，妈妈嘱咐我，十点回家转,

反唇来相讥，“我已十七岁，我要做什么，不能全由你！”

如今已成年，思母泪洗面。吃了冰激凌，咳嗽好几天；

看了恐怖片，噩梦做不断；上学又迟到，只因外面玩。

后悔顶撞妈，没有听母言；爱子心无尽，儿劳母难安；

今日尔应知，当时慈母念。尊前慈母在，浪子不觉寒。
