为了谁和谁 长成一棵挺立的树啊
For whom and whom did she grow into a tall tree?
一棵并不高的树下
Under a tree that isn’t tall
荫蔽着多少孩子光着脚丫
How many barefoot children gather in its shade
在多少酷暑的日子里
Through endless days of burning heat
无忧无虑地走过凉爽的盛夏
They had a cool summer worry-free

A pair of eyes that isn’t big

Watched how many children leave home
