If I could give you diamonds, for each tear you cried for me

If I could give you sapphires, for each truth you’ve helped me see

If I could give you rubies, for the heartache that you’ve known

If I could give you pearls, for the wisdom that you’ve shown

Then you’ll have a treasure, mother

that would mount up to the skies

That would almost match the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes

But I have no pearls, no diamonds

as I’m sure you’re well aware

So I’ll give you gifts more precious, my devotion, love and care
 

如果能
把你为我流的每滴眼泪化成钻石赠于你
把每个透过你让我看清的真理变为蓝宝石赠于你
把你对我的操心换作红宝石赠于你
把你显露的睿智结成珍珠赠于你
那么
你将拥有直追浩瀚宇宙的财富
几乎与你眼中闪烁的慈祥和关爱相近
但是
您知道我没有珍珠和钻石
所以
我将献上我更宝贵的礼物
对您无比投入的热爱及关怀
