《慈母颂》Mother Machree

There’s a spot in my heart

which no colleen may own;

There’s a depth in my soul

never sounded or known;

There’s a place in my memory

my life that you fill;

No other can take it

no one ever will;

Every sorrow or care

in the dear days gone by;

Was made bright by the light

of the smile in your eye;

Like a candle that’s set

in a window at night;

Your fond love has cheered me

and guided me right;

Sure I love the dear silver

that shines in your hair;

And the brow that’s all furrowed

and wrinkled with care;

I kiss the dear fingers

so toil warm for me;

Oh! God bless you and

keep you, mother machree!

外文诗：歌颂伟大的母亲《慈母颂》
在我的心灵之中

有个地方，深不可测

其境从未与闻

哪个少女也难问津；

在我的记忆之中

我的生命充满你的身影

谁也不能取代

永远无人有此真情；

珍贵时光悠悠逝去

辛劳烦扰却永不消停

你眼中的微笑，其光彩

使烦劳转为光明；

宛如点燃的烛光

深夜透窗棂

你深情的爱激励我

引领我一直前进；

是的，我爱你如银的发丝

闪烁着深情的光芒

我爱你额上道道皱纹

岁月刻满沧桑

我吻你勤劳的手指

双手柔情温暖我心房；

啊，慈母在我心

苍天保佑，福寿永绵长！
