When the wind began to stir

风儿吹起时

Mother rose and wandered afar

母亲起身远行

Only a song remains behind

只留下一阵歌声

Where she stood calm and kind

她曾伫立于静谧之中

She left me here all alone

母亲将我留下

Left me in spring's first dawn

将我留在第一个春天里

The daisy breathes soft in my ear

雏菊低声对我说

It saw the tears she shed that year

它见过她的眼泪

I shake my head and hum that tune

我摇摇头 唱起那首歌

The wind carries it to the moon

风吹走了它

No that's not her no that's not her

那不是她 那不是她

I bow my head and hum that tune

我垂下头 哼起那首歌

The wind sends it to the moon

风吹走了它

No that's not her no that's not her

那不是她 那不是她

The floating song murmurs sure

歌声飘荡着低语

The riverbank whispers low to me

河岸低声对我说

It heard her footsteps light and free

它听过她的脚步

I shake my head and hum that tune

我摇摇头 唱起那首歌

The stream carries it to the moon

水带走了它

No that's not her no that's not her

那不是她 那不是她

I close my eyes and sing that tune

我闭上眼 哼起那首歌

The breeze carries it to the moon

微风带走了它

No that's not her no that's not her

那不是她 那不是她

The sighing song murmurs sure

歌声叹息着说

To trace the steps my mother trod

为了寻找母亲的足迹

I wander every distant sod

我走遍了所有坟墓

I sing and sing I hum and hum

我歌唱着 歌唱着

Till an echo comes from the distant sun:

直到远方的光里传来回声

You knew it true it's me my dear

你猜对了 正是我

It calls my name soft and clear

它轻声呼唤着我

You knew it true it's me my dear

你猜对了 正是我
