那年我只有三岁
(I was only three that year)
看见妈妈装在一个四方盒子里
(I saw mother lying in a big box)
安祥无声地睡去
(She was sleeping quietly and peacefully)
她的头发那样黑,像她慈爱闪亮的眼
(Her hair was so dark just like her shiny black eyes)
我不懂他们为何哭泣
(I did not know why the people were crying)
后来我长到五岁
(Then I grew to the age of five)
看见爸爸躺在雪白医院病房里
(I saw father lying in a white hospital bedroom)
急促地想要呼吸
(He was fighting for breath)
他的脸孔那样急,像是激动地发脾气
(His face looked so desperate as if he was losing his patience)
我害怕他也装进盒子里
(I was afraid that they would put him in the big box too)
像妈妈一样不再醒来 从此不再醒来
(Just like mother who never woke up again, who never ever woke up again)
Chorus:
失去了父母,我来到这里
(After losing mum and dad, I came to this place)
如今转眼我已十七
(In the twinkling of an eye, I am now seventeen)
过去的记忆虽有恐惧泪迹
(Though there were memories of fears and tears)
现在我却不灰心 不叹息
(Now I am neither discouraged nor downhearted)
昂然抬头定睛天父的慈爱
(I lift up my head and look towards my Heavenly Father's love)
喜乐地跨步奔去
(And run joyfully and swiftly towards Him)
因为他说:
(For He says:)
我是孤儿的父
(I am the Father of the fatherless)
