From the moment you hold your baby in your arms,
You will never be the same.
You might long for the person you were before,
When you have freedom and time,
And nothing in particular to worry about.
You will know tiredness like you never knew it before,
Days will run into days that are exactly the same,
Full of feedings and burping,
Nappy changes and crying,
Whining and fighting,
Naps or a lack of naps,
It might seem like a never-ending cycle.（从你把宝宝抱在怀里的那一刻起，
你再也回不到从前。
也许你会怀念从前的自己。
那个自由自在的你。
那个无忧无虑的你。
从那之后，会有一种从未体验的疲惫
日复一日地绑缚着你。
你不停喂奶，孩子不停打嗝，
尿布换不完，哭声永不断。
宝宝哼哼唧唧，你战斗不息，
有时打个盹儿，有时连小睡的时间都没有，
日子啊，似乎是无止境的单曲循环。）

But don't forget . . .
There is a last time for everything.
There will come a time when you will feed your baby for the very last time.
They will fall asleep on you after a long day
And it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child.
One day you will carry them on your hip,
Then set them down,
And never pick them up that way again.
You will scrub their hair in the bath one night
And from that day on they will want to bathe alone.
They will hold your hand to cross the road,
Then never reach for it again.
They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles,
And it will be the last night you ever wake to this.
One afternoon you will sing "the wheels on the bus" and do all the actions,
Then never sing them that song again.
They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate,
The next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone.
You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face.
They will run to you with arms raised,
For the very last time.（但是别忘了
每件事总会有尽头。
会有一天，你会喂最后一次奶。
他们会最后一次在晚上倒进你怀里睡去，
而那次以后，他们再不让你抱着进入梦乡。
会有一天，你把他们抱起放在大腿上
又放下来，
那次以后，你再不会重复那个动作。
会有一晚，你还帮着他们搓洗头发，
那天之后，他们洗澡时再也不想要你出现。
他们会牵着你的手穿过马路，
而后，再也不会跟你走路时手挽着手。
他们会半夜爬到你的床上寻求拥抱，
而后，你再也不会睡眼惺忪地看到这一幕。
某个下午，你们还手舞足蹈地唱着“车轮转啊转”。
而后，再也没有把这首歌哼给他们。
前一天，他们还要在学校门口与你亲吻道别，
后一天，他们上学时再不要你来。
你会最后一次给他们讲完睡前故事，最后一次擦净他们脏兮兮的小脸。
他们会高举双手朝你狂奔而来，
那可能是最后一次。）

The thing is, you won't even know it's the last time
Until there are no more times, and even then,
It will take you a while to realize.（可问题是，你也不知道什么时候是最后一次，
老习惯就戛然而止，
对此，你会在很久以后才猛然发现。）

So while you are living in these times,
Remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone,
You will yearn for just one more day of them.（所以，在“最后一次”还没有来临的时候，
别忘了，终究有一天，所有这些都会随时间流逝，
你会多么渴望再来一次。)

For one last time.（再来最后一次。）
