Mother of spring 春天的母亲

Her branches cradle sleeping buds 她的树枝睡觉的摇篮芽

Yawning open 打哈欠开放

Welcomed by an aging man 通过老化人的欢迎

He greets them fondly 他招呼他们深情地

   

With memories of when 随着回忆的时候

Her boughs were arms that held him 她的枝子胳膊拉他

As a younger man together 作为一个年轻的男人在一起

They would marvel 他们会惊叹

At the birth of springtime 在春天的诞生

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms 现在，他站在了苹果花下

Every year where they used to go walking 每一年，他们经常去散步

And he tells her about the summer and the autumn 他告诉她有关夏，秋

The winter in his heart 在他的心脏在冬季

And their apple blossoms 而他们的苹果花

   

In summer they would dream 在夏天，他们会梦想

Of being three and smile 被三笑

Imagining her round 想象着她的圆

As the apples on the ground 由于地面上的苹果

That fall they loved and waited 那年秋天，他们爱和等待

   

But winter came too soon 但是冬天来得很快

Before their seed could bloom 之前，他们的后裔能绽放

She wilted from the chill 她从寒冷枯萎

and all fell cold and still 和所有的下跌寒冷依旧

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms 现在，他站在了苹果花下

Every year where they used to go walking 每一年，他们经常去散步

And he tells her about the summer and the autumn 他告诉她有关夏，秋

The winter in his heart 在他的心脏在冬季

And their apple blossoms 而他们的苹果花

   

[Bridge] [桥]

As he opened the earth to receive her 当他打开地球接收她

He prayed heaven would be waiting to meet her 他祈祷上天会等着迎接她

He kisses her cold cheek goodbye 他吻了她冰冷的脸颊告别

But he couldn’t surrender the hopes they had sired 但他不能放弃他们与配的希望

so in her folded hands 所以在她的双手合十

He placed a seed 他把种子

From their favorite tree 从他们最喜爱的树

And he laid her to rest 他把她休息

’neath a blanket of white 照耀下的白色毯子

Until they meet again in the springtime 直到他们再次相遇在春天

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms 现在，他站在了苹果花下

Every year where they used to go walking 每一年，他们经常去散步

And from above she’s always watching 而从她上面总是看

But her body lies ’neath the apple blossoms... 但是，她的身体就在于照耀下的苹果花...

   

Mother of the spring 春天的母亲

the sleeping buds she cradles 沉睡的味蕾，她的摇篮

Slowly yawn open 慢慢地打哈欠开放

Welcomed by an aging man 通过老化人的欢迎

He greets them fondly... 他招呼他们深情......
