我会说:“孩子不在那里了!”——妈妈,我走了。
我将化为一缕清风爱抚着您;我将化为串串涟漪,当您沐浴时,一次次地吻着您。
在刮风的夜里,当雨点儿在树叶上滴答作响时,
您在**将听到我的私语,当电光从开着的窗口闪进您的屋里时,
我的笑声也随之一起闪现。

如果您清醒地躺在**,深夜里仍想着您的孩子,
我将在星空中对您吟唱:“睡吧!妈妈,睡吧。”
乘着四处游移的月光,我悄悄地来到您**,趁您睡着时,躺在您的怀里。
我将变成一个梦,从您眼皮的微缝中,滑入您的睡眠深处;当您醒来,惊奇地张望时,我就像一只熠熠闪光的萤火虫,向黑暗中飞去了。
普耶节时,当邻居的孩子们来屋里玩耍时,
我将融合在笛声里,终日**漾在您心头。
亲爱的阿姨带来了节日礼物,
她会问:“我们的孩子在哪里,姐姐?”
妈妈,您要温柔地告诉她:
“他此刻在我的眼眸里,在我的身体里,在我的灵魂里。”
