(单词翻译)

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You'll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

You're always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin’ me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl in my life

【附】:一则感人的故事(读了这个故事,我的泪水决堤了……)

小手印

我不禁眨了眨眼睛,强忍住泪水,透过车窗望着那正在嘲笑我的月亮——至少在我看来,它是在嘲笑我,不过,也许这只是我的一种心境。我们的车向东驶去,转眼就进入黑暗中。车轮每转动一圈,我离我的女儿——我的大女儿,就越来越遥远了。几小时之前,我和丈夫把她送到了田纳西州中部的州立大学的宿舍,从那里需要开12小时的车才能到我们在弗吉尼亚州马纳萨斯市的家。

我能够当着莉娅的面向她告别真是一件值得自豪的事。在这之前,她恳求我不要哭——至少不能在她面前落泪,我做到了,可也只是勉强忍住而已。莉娅一直保持沉默,是不是看看我的脸;而我,也忍不住想多看看女儿,好让她在我脑海里留下更清晰的影子——从这一刻起,要到圣诞节才有机会看到女儿。我看到了她额头上的一个V字形伤疤。

我的思绪一下子回到了从前:我眼看着十五个月大的莉娅把一个有自动开关功能的收音机从床头柜上拽下来。那情形真像是电影里的慢镜头,我眼睁睁地望着收音机砸在她头上。我原本试图上去抓住它,可我的动作偏偏慢了一步,紧接着就是莉娅撕心裂肺的哭声。她的头部立即流出血来。在急救室里,医生正为莉娅缝合伤口。我在走廊里听着她不断发出的喊叫声:“妈妈……妈妈……妈妈……”当时,我躲在丈夫的怀里哭泣。她的哭喊声令我心碎,我宁愿代替她受伤,也不愿她受一点儿罪。

从那以后,我曾多次有过这种代女儿受罪的愿望——在她上学第一天试图隐藏内心的焦虑时;返校节舞会她的朋友们都找到了舞伴,而她却独自一人时;在三年级,她的一位同学因车祸而不幸丧生,她感到无比痛苦时……没错,当她遭受痛苦时,我始终想让自己为她承担这一切;但是,我知道这是不可能的,就像她现在无法减轻我内心的痛苦一样。我们的车在洲际公路上疾驰,我与她的距离也被无情地拉得越来越遥远;月亮依然在嘲笑我,眼睁睁地看着我忍受离别之苦。不过,我知道这种痛苦只是暂时的。随着时间的推移,我一定能调整好自己,努力适应女儿不在的生活。

为了达到调整自己的目的,我将莉娅的房间重新布置了一番:将她的床和梳妆台照样保留,将空余部分作为我缝纫活的工作区。就在我把她送到大学的几个星期后,我开始收拾她留下的几件东西。当我翻阅起她购买的年刊、相册,以及多年来她所收集的各种各样的小物品时,一种强烈的感情开始从心头激荡。突然,我看到了一块绿色的麻布片,上面印着两个白色的小手印。当我读了小手印上的一段话时,我的泪水再也止不住了。

有时,我令您失望,
因为我太小,
经常把我的手印
留在家具和墙上。
可我每天都在成长,
很快就会变高,
这样的小手印,
将很难觅到。
所以,
我留下这最后的小手印,
亲爱的妈妈,
希望您记得,
在今年的主日学校,
我的小手是什么样的。
