介绍： Backward, turn backward, Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight!

时间的流逝，后退，向后退，让我做回小孩，就只在今夜！

Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore;

介绍： Backward, turn backward, Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight!

时间的流逝，后退，向后退，让我做回小孩，就只在今夜！

Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore;

母亲，从没有回音的海岸回来，一如往昔把我拥抱在怀里；

Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;

亲我额头，充满关怀的皱纹，顺理我头发上几根银丝；

Over my slumbers your loving watch keep; — Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!

在我睡眠中，一直怜爱地望着我 ；-摇我睡觉，母亲 – 摇我入睡！

Backward, flow backward, O tide of the years!

噢，岁月的潮汐，后退，向后退！

I am so weary of toil and of tears, — Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,

我己厌倦於辛劳与眼泪 –辛劳而没有补偿，眼泪都徒劳无功

Take them, and give me my childhood again!

都拿去吧，只要给回我童年！

I have grown weary of dust and decay, — Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away; Weary of sowing for others to reap;

我已经厌倦了尘埃与腐败，厌倦於丢失我心灵财富，厌倦於为他人作嫁衣裳

Rock me to sleep, mother – rock me to sleep!

摇我入睡，母亲 – 摇我入睡！

Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!

厌倦於空洞，卑鄙，不真实，母亲，噢，母亲，我的心在呼唤您！

Many a summer the grass has grown green, Blossomed and faded, our faces between:

多少个夏天，草长绿了，花开了，凋谢了，在我们的面与面之间：

Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain, Long I tonight for your presence again.

然而，强烈的愿望，激情的痛苦，让我今夜渴望再见到您的出现。

Come from the silence so long and so deep;

来自沉默，那么的久远，那么的深沉，

Rock me to sleep, mother – rock me to sleep!

搖我入睡，母亲 – 摇我入睡！

Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold, Fall on your shoulders again as of old;

来吧，让您的棕发，闪闪发光，一如往昔落在您的肩膀；

Let it drop over my forehead tonight, Shading my faint eyes away from the light;

让它落在我额头，今夜，护我微弱的眼晴，不让光线照到；

For with its sunny-edged shadows once more Haply will throng the sweet visions of yore;

因为，再一次，这个边缘充满阳光的身影，无意中又撩起昔日甜蜜的愿景；

Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep;

深情地，轻柔地，您明亮的发丝，波光粼粼 ；

Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!

摇我入睡，母亲 – 摇我入睡！

Mother, dear mother, the years have been long Since I last listened your lullaby song:

母亲，亲爱的母亲，已经好多年了，自从我最后一次听您的催眠曲；

Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood's years have been only a dream.

那么，唱吧，唱到我的心灵深处，让我成长为妇人的岁月，只不过是一场梦

Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace, With your light lashes just sweeping my face, Never hereafter to wake or to weep;

将我紧靠您的心，作个爱的拥抱，您的眼睫毛轻轻地，刚扫过我的面庞，从今而后，不再醒来或哭泣 ；

Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep!

摇我入睡，母亲 – 摇我入睡！
