一天又一天、一年又一年过去了，妈妈也变得愈来愈老了。
One day she called up her son and said,
有一天，她打电话给儿子，对他说：
"You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick."
“你找个时间回来看看我这个生病的老人吧！”
So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:
当儿子回到家时，妈妈依然像往常一样，轻轻的唱著：
I'll love you forever,
我永远爱你，
I'll like you for always,
我永远疼你，
But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick.
但是她只唱了这两句，就虚弱得无法唱下去了。
The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:
这时，儿子走向妈妈，轻轻的把她搂在怀里，轻轻的摇啊摇，轻轻的唱著：
I'll love you forever,
我永远爱你，
I'll like you for always,
我永远疼你，
As long as I'm living
在我的心里，
my Mommy you'll be.
你是我永远的妈妈。
When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs.

Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping.
然后，他走进小女儿的房间里，
He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,
我永远疼你，
As long as I'm living
在爸爸的心里，
my baby you'll be.
你是我永远的宝贝。
