She was 9 yrs. old goin' on grown, 她9岁。在垂垂老矣布莱恩 ，

Shuffled around from home to home, 抛去从家里到家庭，

And no mattwe what, wherever she went, 无mattwe什么，无论她去了，

She carried with her a stuffed elephant. 她身上总带着一个毛绒大象。

And her new family knew she was scared to say I love you 和她的新家人知道她很害怕说我爱你

Cause she thought she'd have to move away again someday 因为她认为她不得不搬走再有一天

So she clutched her little friend as they tucked her in, and then 于是，她紧紧抓着她的朋友，因为他们在夹着她，然后

Said it'll be okay, all you have to say is elephant ears 说，它会好起来的，你不得不说的是大象的耳朵

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Elephant ears, that'll be our code, 大象的耳朵，那将是我们的代码，

When you can't say I love you, but you want someone to know, 当你不能说我爱你，但你希望有人知道，

Sometimes it's what you see, and not just what you hear. 有时候，你所看到的，不只是你所听到的。

So all you have to do is say elephant ears. 因此，所有你需要做的是说，大象的耳朵。

   

But they loved that girl like she were their child, 但他们喜欢那个女孩一样，她是他们的孩子，

A sad little face became a big smile 一个悲伤的小脸变成了灿烂的笑容

And years passed by, while they turned to grey 和多年过去了，当他们转向灰

She took care of them 'til they passed away 她把照顾他们，直到他们去世

And in their home sweet home, she wondered all alone 并在他们的家，甜蜜的家，她想独自一人

Where memories lined the halls from wall to wall. 凡回忆林立的会堂从墙到墙。

And in their old bedroom, her old elephant heirloom 而在他们的旧卧室里，她的老象传家宝

Was sitting on the shelf, and she said to herself. 坐在架子上，她对自己说。

She stared at their photograph reminiscing all the years 她盯着自己的照片，回忆这些年

Then catches her reflection, and her eyes fill up with tears 然后抓住她的反映，她的眼睛充满了泪水

Oh she cried until she laughed and when she realized instead 哦，她哭了，直到她笑了，当她意识到来代替

That her lips were forming the words I love you, when she said, 她的嘴唇形成我爱你的话，她说，
