门前老树长新芽
Old tree by the door sprouts anew,
院里枯木又开花
In the yard, the withered wood blooms too.
半生存了好多话
Half a life filled with words to share,
藏进了满头白发
Stored away in my head of silver hair.
记忆中的小脚丫
Little feet in my memories play,
肉嘟嘟的小嘴巴
Chubby cheeks where laughter would stay.
一生把爱交给他
A lifetime's love given to him,
只为那一声爸妈
Just for that call of Mom and Dad's hymn.
时间都去哪儿了
Where has all the time gone to?
还没好好感受年轻就老了
Before I felt young, I grew old too.
生儿养女一辈子
Raising children for a lifetime,
满脑子都是孩子哭了笑了
My mind's filled with the cries and laughter of kids.
时间都去哪儿了
Where has the time gone?
还没好好看看你眼睛就花了
I haven't even properly gazed into your eyes before they blurred.
柴米油盐半辈子
The routine of life, day in and day out,
转眼就只剩下满脸的皱纹了
In the blink of an eye, only wrinkles remain.
记忆中的小脚丫
Little feet from my memories,
肉嘟嘟的小嘴巴
Chubby little lips,
一生把爱交给他
A lifetime giving love to them,
只为那一声爸妈
Just for that one call, 'Mom and Dad.'
时间都去哪儿了
Where has the time gone?
还没好好感受年轻就老了
I hadn't truly felt young before growing old.
生儿养女一辈子
Raising children all my life,
满脑子都是孩子哭了笑了
My mind's filled with their cries and laughter.
时间都去哪儿了
Where has the time gone?
还没好好看看你眼睛就花了
I hadn't really looked into your eyes before they blurred.
柴米油盐半辈子
A life of grains, oil, and salt,
转眼就只剩下满脸的皱纹了
In the blink of an eye, I'm left with a face full of wrinkles.
