Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　With the tremendous sound of the shaking of the ground
.
　　I saw you sink down on the chaotic playground
.
　　In my ears the grieved shouts still resound.
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　The stars filling the sky are all your tears
.
　　I am not wandering lonely in darkness
.
　　Hand in hand classmates sing themselves hoarse.
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　The teacher said the twittering of birds and the fragrance of flowers was not there again
.
　　Thus I am reluctant to part with the scene and keep looking back,
.
　　So desolate are the blue hills and green streams.
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　Just couldn't bear to part from my dream which I have dreamed of
.
　　Please help me tidy away my beautiful schoolbag
.
　　I hear the elder sisters read aloud in the ruins
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　Alas, I can't wait to see green uniforms
.
　　I still want to finish my homework assigned by the teacher
.
　　And miss the blackboard, the book and the class
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　I’m neither naughty nor break your heart again.
.
　　I will bear in mind your smiling appearance.
.
　　In the afterlife I still want to nestle up to your warm breast.
.
　　Mother, please don’t cry, I went to paradise
.
　　Where there is the lamplight, there is hope for life
.
　　When I open my eyes, I want to see you live toughly
.
　　Your love lightens my path for ever…
