Mom’s Wish

在星空下為妳蓋好被子……
看著妳眼底閃爍的小小星系……
噢……

妳對著遙遠明亮的月亮輕語
把小小的心願送給每顆星星
「我想吃冰淇淋，還想去有陽光的公園玩！」
我笑著問妳：「還有呢，我的小光芒？」
妳皺起小鼻子，好認真、好認真地想著
分享著我們小院子裡最快樂的夢想

然後妳突然轉過頭看著我
用那像海洋一樣寬廣好奇的雙眼
「媽媽，」妳問，「妳也會許願嗎？」
我停頓了一下，溫柔地笑了，心裡全都是妳

噢，我的寶貝，我的願望幾乎每天都不會變
它們無關這個廣闊奇妙的世界
我只願妳平安，無論妳走到哪裡
我願妳快樂，看著妳學習與成長
而比天上所有星星加起來更重要的願望是……
我願妳永遠、永遠被愛包圍

妳靜靜地聽著，那麼安靜、那麼乖巧
星光灑在我們的窗台上
妳從不知道大人的願望裡藏著什麼
我們把最愛的人，安放在每一個祈禱裡
我輕撫妳的臉頰，撥開妳的髮絲
這是我每天的願望，每天的祈禱

噢，我的寶貝，我的願望幾乎每天都不會變
它們無關這個廣闊奇妙的世界
我只願妳平安，無論妳走到哪裡
我願妳快樂，看著妳學習與成長
而比天上所有星星加起來更重要的願望是……
我願妳永遠、永遠被愛包圍

我把妳輕輕地放進我許下的每一個願望裡……
守護著妳的夢境，直到清晨甦醒……

閉上眼睛吧，我的寶貝，安心睡去……
媽媽的願望會整夜守護著妳……
平安、快樂……
而且永遠被愛著……

Tucking you in beneath the starry sky...
Watching the little galaxies in your eye...
Ooh...
You whisper to the moon so bright and far
Sending your tiny hopes to every star
"I want some ice cream, and a sunny day to play!"
I smile and ask you, "What else, my little ray?"
You scrunch your nose and think so very hard
Sharing the happiest dreams from our little yard
Then suddenly you turn and look at me
With eyes as wide and curious as the sea
"Mommy," you ask, "Do you have wishes too?"
I pause and smile, my heart so full of you
Oh, my sweet girl, my wishes never change
They aren't about the world so wide and strange
I wish you stay safe, wherever you may go
I wish you stay happy, watching you learn and grow
And more than anything from the stars up above...
I wish you are always, always surrounded by love
You listen close, so quiet and so still
As starlight falls upon our windowsill
You didn't know that grown-up wishes hide
The ones we love right safely deep inside
I touch your cheek and brush away your hair
My everyday wish, my everyday prayer
Oh, my sweet girl, my wishes never change
They aren't about the world so wide and strange
I wish you stay safe, wherever you may go
I wish you stay happy, watching you learn and grow
And more than anything from the stars up above...
I wish you are always, always surrounded by love
I place you softly in every wish I make...
Guarding your dreams until the morning awake...
Close your eyes now, my darling, sleep so tight...
Mommy's wishes will hold you through the night...
Safe and happy...
And always loved...
