Mother Machree

　　《慈母颂》

　　There's a spot in my heart

　　which no colleen may own;

　　There's a depth in my soul

　　never sounded or known;

　　在我的心灵之中

　　有个地方，深不可测

　　其境从未与闻

　　哪个少女也难问津；

　　There's a place in my memory

　　my life that you fill;

　　No other can take it

　　no one ever will;

　　在我的记忆之中

　　我的生命充满你的身影

　　谁也不能取代

　　永远无人有此真情；

　　Every sorrow or care

　　in the dear days gone by;

　　Was made bright by the light

　　of the smile in your eye;

　　珍贵时光悠悠逝去

　　辛劳烦扰却永不消停

　　你眼中的微笑，其光彩

　　使烦劳转为光明；

　　Like a candle that's set

　　in a window at night;

　　Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right;

　　宛如点燃的烛光

　　深夜透窗棂

　　你深情的爱激励我

　　引领我一直前进；

　　Sure I love the dear silver

　　that shines in your hair;

　　And the brow that's all furrowed

　　and wrinkled with care;

　　I kiss the dear fingers

　　so toil warm for me;

　　Oh! God bless you and

　　keep you, mother machree!

　　是的，我爱你如银的发丝

　　闪烁着深情的光芒

　　我爱你额上道道皱纹

　　岁月刻满沧桑

　　我吻你勤劳的手指

　　双手柔情温暖我心房；

　　啊，慈母在我心

　　苍天保佑，福寿永绵长！ 

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
