“M” is for the million things she gave me,

“O” means¹ only that she’s growing old,

“T” if for the tears she shed² to save me,

“H” is for her heart of purest gold,

“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shinning,

“R” means right, and right she’ll always be.

Put them all together, they spell “Mother”,

A word that means the world to me.

译文：

M 代表她给予我百万样东西，

O 意味着她渐渐老去，

T 是她为育我成人而洒落的颗颗泪滴，

H 寓意她那金子般至纯至真的心灵，

E 是她那双闪耀着慈爱之光的眼睛，

R 使我坚信她永远正确无误的言行。

把这些字幕拼在一起就是“母亲”，

一个于我犹如整个世界一样的词语。
