給小孩 [Gěi xiǎo hái] [English translation]

Maybe a nurse

White and warm

Maybe a philosopher

Enlighten the darkness

Each small face

We all should look up to it

Each child is a ray of light

Give children beds to dream

Give children windows to look far

To see that they will bring us

To what kind of beautiful places

Give children boats to sail

Give children brave paddles

The world will definitely become brighter

Maybe a good tone

Comforting gloom

Maybe in a lab

Looking for answers

Each pair of small palms

Should be put in hopes

Each child is small sun

(The sun of hope)

Give children beds to dream

Give children windows to look far

To see that they will bring us

To what kind of beautiful places

Give children boats to sail

Give children brave paddles

The world will definitely become brighter

Give children hugs and candies

Give children kisses and softness

When they grow up into adults

They won't feel lack of something

Give children lights and beliefs

Give children beauty and truths

The world will definitely become simpler

Give children a few mountains

Give children several oceans

Let them get hurt a bit

And become humble and brave (learn to be humble & brave)

Give children loves and sharing

Give children homes and wings

Even if these are ordinary, at least friendly

The world will definitely become more heavenly
