《This Is To Mother You》(慈母之爱)
演唱:Sinead O'Connor谢妮德·奥康娜(爱尔兰)
This is to mother u
To comfort u and get u thru
Thru when ur nights r lonely
Thru when ur dreams r only blue
This is to mother u
此慈母之爱怜
安慰你助你度艰难
当你于孤寂夜晚
当你发阴郁的梦魇
此慈母之爱怜
This is to be with u
To hold u and to kiss u too
For when u need me I will do
What ur own mother didnt do
Which is to mother u
此时与你相伴
亲吻你拥你入臂弯
因你需要时我即将
你生母未曾给予之
母爱向你奉献。
All the pain that u have known
All the violence in ur soul
All the wrong things u have done
I will take from u when i come
你已知的所有苦恼
你灵魂中一切虐暴
你所犯任何过错
我均会将它们攫掉
All mistakes made in distress
All ur unhappiness 你所有的不快乐
I will take away with my kiss
Yes i will give u tenderness 是的,我会悉心照料你
你悲时所犯过错
一切不快乐
我用吻将它们清除
是的我将给你温柔
For child i’m so glad to find u
Although my arms have always been around u
Sweet bird although u did not see me
I saw u
And i’m here to mother u
To comfort u and get u thru
Thru when ur nights r lonely
Thru when ur dreams r only blue This is to mother u
乖乖找到你我福气
虽然我的双臂一直搂抱你
乖女虽然我你未看到
我见你
母爱我在此给你
安慰你助你度艰难
当你在孤寂夜晚
当你发阴郁的梦魇
此慈母之爱怜

也许是做了母亲的缘故,爱尔兰愤怒“光头妹”Sinead o’Connor有一天竟能远离焦虑和咆哮,唱出这般温情圣洁的颂母歌。
Sinead o’Connor出生于问题家庭,小时因遭受母亲虐待一向以乖戾、叛逆、傲慢的形象自居。
“This is to mother you”选自Sinead转型之作“Gospel Oak”(《福音橡树》)。歌中,曾经的“斗士”选择了感恩,言达了赞扬母爱、回报母爱这一永恒的人生主题。
