孩子们快抓紧妈妈的手	Hold Tight to your Mama's Hands
孩子们快抓紧妈妈的手，	Kido, hold tight to Mama’s hands
去天堂的路太黑了,	Way to the heaven is too dark
妈妈怕你碰了头，	Mama’s worried you might bump your heads
快抓紧妈妈的手，	Hold Mama’s hands tight
让妈妈陪你走。	Let Mama guide you through
妈妈怕天堂的路太黑了，	Mama’s worry that road to heaven is too dark
怕看不见你的手	Fearing not being able to see your hands
自从倒塌的墙将阳光夺走	Ever since the collapsed walls take sunshine away
我再也看不见你柔情的眸。	Mama will never see your deep eyes
孩子，你走吧，前面的路再没有忧愁，	Kido, as you go, no more worries way ahead
没有读不完的课本和爸爸的拳头，	No more endless homework accompanied Dad’s span
你要记住我和爸爸的模样，	Do remember Mama and Papa
来生我们还是一起走。	Be together once life again
妈妈别担忧，	Don’t worry, Mama
天堂的路有些挤，	The way to heaven a bit crowded
有很多同学朋友，	Along with many fellow students
我们说不哭，	We all say no more crying
那一个人的妈妈都是孩子的妈妈，	All Mama in the world are our Mama
那一个孩子都是妈妈的孩子。	All kids in the world are Mama’s kids
没有我的日子，	With my absence
你把爱给活着的孩子吧，	Devote your love to all other kids around
妈妈，你别哭，泪光照不亮我们的路	Mama, please don’t cry as tears won’t lighten our road
让我们慢慢的走，	Let us walk slowly
