58 To My Dear Mother

My dear Mother, why do you always look tired?
If I were a spirit, I'd bring you a bunch of roses
And drown your fatigue¹ in their sweet scent².
My dear Mother, why is it always hard for you to sleep?
If I were a sleeping pill, I'd fall into your water glass and accompany you
throughout the night.
My dear Mother, why do you always frown?
If I were a joke book, I'd be open everyday
And make you laugh happily.
My dear Mother, you are always good to me.
When I graduate from school,
I will say, "I bless you forever!

致亲爱的母亲
我亲爱的母亲，您为什么看上去总是这样疲惫？
如果我是个精灵，我愿带给您一捧玫瑰
将您的疲倦淹没在花的芬芳之中。
我亲爱的母亲，您为什么总是难以入眠？
如果我是安眠药，我愿落入您的水杯，整夜陪伴着您。
我亲爱的母亲，您为什么总是皱着眉头？
如果我是一本笑话书，我愿每天打开，让你笑口常开。
我亲爱的母亲，你总是对我那么好。
当我毕业时，我将说，“我永远为您祈祷。”
