When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side. When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
当我是个小宝宝整夜哭闹的时候，妈妈依偎在我身旁，唱歌送我入梦乡。当我累了饿了的时候，妈妈给我食物和休憩的温暖怀抱。

When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger. When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.

当我两岁在田野里奔跑的时候，她确保我的安全，让我远离危险。当我摔倒受伤的时候，她给我拥抱,扶我站好。

When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me. But I talked back loudly, I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!

七岁的我剧烈咳嗽,她说我不该吃冰激凌。 我却大声反驳，“应该允许我吃一些!现在就给我！”

When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreams. But I shouted back angrily, ― I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!

九岁的我看恐怖电影，她说电影会带给我噩梦。我却愤怒地回应，“应该允许我看！我不是小孩！”

When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, Please be back by ten! But I talked back again — I should not be told what to do! I'm seventeen now!

青少年的我和朋友外出闲逛,她说，“请在十点之前回来！” 我却再次顶嘴，“不需要你告诉我什么该不该！我已经17岁了！”

Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream.

现在我已长大成人，回想那过去的时光。吃了冰激凌让我咳嗽不止。

And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten.

看了恐怖电影让我噩梦连连。上学迟到只因10点还在外游荡。

I regret talking back, not listening to Mom. Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!

我真后悔呀!后悔不该顶嘴，后悔没听妈妈的忠告。 妈妈最了解（孩子），她只是想怎样对我最好！
