Sitting alone in an old rockin' chair

I saw an old mother with silvery hair

She seemed so neglected by those who should care

Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair

Her hands were caloused and wrinckled and old
她有一双满是褶皱和伤痕的手

A life full of hard work was the story they told
人们说她劳作一生

And I've thought of angels as I saw her there
看她时我想我看见了一位天使

Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair

Bless her old heart do you think she'd complain

Though life has been bitter she'd live it again
生活再苦她也会无悔

And carry that cross that is more than her share
背负着本不应该由她承担的苦难

Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
摇着一张老旧的摇椅

(It wouldn't take much just to gladden her heart
想要抚慰她的心不需要太多

Just some small re-embrace on somebody's heart)
只要一个小小的拥抱

A letter would brighten her empty life there
信会使她在那里的空虚生活变得光明

Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
摇着一张老旧的摇椅

I look at her and I think what a shame

The ones who forgot her she loves just the same
那些忘记她的人，她也一样。

And I think of angels as I see her there
看她时我想我看见了一位天使

Rocking alone in an old rockin' chair
摇着一张老旧的摇椅
