歌词(节选)欣赏:
She was 19 with a baby on the way
她那时19岁 孩子即将出生
On the east-side of the city she was working every day
在城东没日没夜地干活
Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
晚上刷碗 她几乎昏昏欲睡
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change
她坚信她总有一天会熬出头
And, across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
深夜 她坐着巴士穿过小镇回到她的单间
And then she'd turn on the light
把灯点着后
She would sit down at the table
她会坐在桌旁
Tell herself that it's alright
告诉自己一切都很好
She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
她期盼着孩子出生的那一刻
She'd never be alone
她永远都不会孑然一身
Have someone to hold
永远都会有一个拥抱在等她
And when night's were cold she'd say
长夜漫漫中她说
The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
这世界没那么完美 但也没那么糟糕
If we got each other and that's all we have
只要有彼此 就是拥有了整个世界
I will be your mother and hold your hand
我会作为你的母亲 紧紧抓住你的手
You should know I will be there for you
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
And the world's not perfect
当这世界没那么完美时
When the world's not kind
当这世界没那么友好时
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
只要有彼此 就能突破重重难关
I will be your mother and hold your hand
我会作为你的母亲 紧紧抓住你的手
You should know I will be there for you
你要知道我永远会在你身旁
