The Mother

Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
歡迎大家來到我的思維殿堂
Tethered to another and you're worried all the time
總是被其他事物束縛，令你焦慮不安
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
你向來只知道歌曲的旋律卻聽不出這美妙的節奏
She's fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
主啊，她是如此純潔美麗，溫婉安靜，她和我截然不同
She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
因為她，我愛上了早晨，她就像那海邊的假日之旅
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
紐約的街道繁忙之景像如同以往
But I am the mother of Evangeline
但我是伊万傑琳的母親

她從我身上學會的第一件事是嗜睡與任性
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
她打碎了一件昂貴的傳家之寶，沒關係，我也從未想將之保留
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
她讓我的生活豐富多彩，也破壞了我的計劃，毀了我的車
She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car
然而，這些身外之物並不能代表我們自身
But none of that is ever who we are
窗外是連綿的山脈和皚皚白雪
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
我哄著你入眠，帶你睡著，我便能安然離開
I hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go
我身邊那些吵吵鬧鬧的朋友都實現了自己的夢想
All my rowdy friends around accomplishing their dreams
但我是伊万傑琳的母親
But I am the mother of Evangeline
清晨，他們仍然讀著報紙，喝著咖啡，享受時光

夜晚，他們依舊侃侃而談，品味美酒
They've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
然而，我看見的所有美好
They still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and their wine
都可以透過你的眼睛，你的年齡，再次看到
Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time
你之降世並不是一場意外
From inside of the ages through your eyes
世界與我們為敵，而我們為你拼勁全力
You were not an accident where no one thought it through
在你選好名字的時候，我們就明白你也要與之抗衡
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
對我而言，你是如此夢幻而美麗
And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power, too
倘若沒有你，我便不會獲得成功

因此，人們才能夠將財富保留，繼續循規蹈矩的生活
You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
因為，我是伊万傑琳的母親
I would never hit the big time without you
人們才能夠將財富保留，繼續循規蹈矩的生活
So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
因為，我是伊万傑琳的母親
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
噢噢噢
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooooh....
