聖誕節的真諦啟發

It was almost Christmas time,
當時聖誕節就快到了

There I stood in another line
我記得我正在收銀檯前排隊

Tryin' to buy that last gift or two,
想去買最後的一、兩個禮物

Not really in the Christmas mood
也不真的有耶誕心情

Standing right in front of me was
排在我前面的是一位小男孩

A little boy waiting anxiously
看得出來他等得很焦急

Pacing 'round like little boys do
就像是個小男生那樣的來回踱步

And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
在他手裡,捧著一雙鞋

His clothes were worn and old,
他穿的衣服破爛老舊

He was dirty from head to toe
從頭到腳都汙穢不堪

And when it came his time to pay
輪到他付錢時

I couldn't believe what I heard him say
聽到他說的話,我真是不敢相信

Sir, I want to buy these shoes
先生,麻煩你,我想買這雙鞋

For my Mama, please
給我媽媽、拜託你

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今晚是聖誕夜,這雙鞋剛好是她的尺寸

Could you hurry, sir,
先生,可不可以請你快點?

Daddy says there's not much time
爸爸說時間不多了

You see she's been sick for quite a while
是這樣子的,她已經病了好一陣子

And I know these shoes would make her smile
而我知道這雙鞋子會讓她微笑

And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

我希望媽媽看起來很美麗, 如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
他數銅板數了好久

Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
那個收銀員卻說:”小朋友,這些錢還不夠”

He searched his pockets frantically
他發瘋似的翻遍了口袋

Then he turned and he looked at me
然往他轉過身看著我,

He said Mama made Christmas good at our house, though most years she just did without
他說,媽媽總讓家裡度過很棒的聖誕節,雖然在過去幾年裡,我們什麼也沒有

Tell me Sir, what am I going to do
先生,請你告訴我、我該怎麼做?

Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
不管如何我都要買這雙鞋給她做為聖誕禮物

So I laid the money down,
所以我拿出錢放在桌上,

I just had to help him out
只覺得一定得幫助他

I'll never forget the look on his face when He said
我永遠無法忘記他臉上的表情,當他說

Mama's gonna look so great
媽媽穿起來一定會很漂亮!

Sir, I want to buy these shoes
先生,麻煩你我想買這雙鞋

For my Mama, please
給我媽媽的、拜託你

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今晚是聖誕夜,這雙鞋剛好是她的尺寸

Could you hurry, sir,
先生,可不可以請你快點?

Daddy says there's not much time
爸爸說時間不多了

You see she's been sick for quite a while
是這樣子的,她已經病了好一陣子

And I know these shoes would make her smile
而我知道這雙鞋子會讓她微笑

And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
我希望媽媽看起來很美麗, 如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
我當知道我瞥見了來自天堂的愛

As he thanked me and ran out
當他對我說謝謝然後跑開時

I knew that God had sent that little boy
我知道上帝派了這個小男孩來提醒我

To remind me just what Christmas is all about
聖誕節的真諦

Repeat Chorus

(小男孩唱

(Sir, I want to buy these shoes
先生,麻煩你我想買這雙鞋

For my Mama, please
給我媽媽的、拜託你

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size)
今晚是聖誕夜,這雙鞋剛好是她的尺寸

是這樣子的,她已經病了好一陣子

And I know these shoes would make her smile
而我知道這雙鞋子會讓她微笑

And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
我希望媽媽看起來很美麗, 如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面

(小男孩唱:

And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight)
我希望媽媽看起來很美麗, 如果今晚她就要和上帝碰面
