Supermarket Flowers

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
我從窗台上拿起了從超市買來的花
I threw the day old tea from the cup
我將隔夜茶從杯中倒去
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
拿起一本馬修製作的相冊
Memories of a life that's been loved
那是我被愛著的日子的記憶
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
拿起了寫滿“早日康復”的毛絨玩具
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
將沒喝完姜啤倒入水槽
Dad always told me, 'Don't you cry when you're down'
父親總是告訴我“在你傷心的時候不要哭泣”
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
不過媽媽啊，總是有眼淚在我眨眼的時候從我眼睛落下
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
哦，在平靜中我被撕成碎片
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
破碎的心靈正是被愛過的痕跡呀
So I'll sing Hallelujah
所以我唱到“哈利路亞”
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
你是長著我媽媽臉龐的天使
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
每當我摔倒，你都會將我扶起
Spread your wings as you go
所到之處，你無不將你的翅膀展開
When God takes you back
當上帝將你帶走時
He'll say, 'Hallelujah, you're home'
他會說“哈利路亞”
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
我抖好枕頭，折好床，堆好凳子
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
將你的睡袍折好放好
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
約翰說：''他來開車'並把他的手放往我的臉頰
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
擦乾我臉上的淚水
I hope that I see the world as you did ' cause I know
我希望我所認知的世界，因為我知道
A life with love is a life that's been lived
只有有愛的生活才是有意義的
So I' ll sing Hallelujah
