也许是做了母亲的缘故，爱尔兰愤怒“光头妹”Sinead o’Connor有一天竟能远离焦虑和咆哮，唱出这般温情圣洁的颂母歌。
Sinead o’Connor出生于问题家庭，小时因遭受母亲虐待一向以乖戾、叛逆、傲慢的形象自居。
“This is to mother you”选自Sinead转型之作“Gospel Oak”（《福音橡树》）。歌中，曾经的“斗士”选择了感恩，言达了赞扬母爱、回报母爱这一永恒的人生主题。
This is to mother you
by Sinead O'Connor
This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the 'wrong' things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you |
