These Three Words
Stevie Wonder
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Mother or father, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Daughter or son, I love you
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Can instantly be taken away
Then you'd say I know this can't be true
When you never took the time
To simply tell them, "I love you"
When was the last time
That they heard you say
Sister or brother, I love you
And when was the last time
That they heard you say
Darling or best friend, I love you
The one for whom you'd give your very life
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Through your tears you'd ask why did you go
Knowing you'd didn't always show
Just how much you loved them so
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Short and kind
These three words
Always kindles
An aching heart to smile inside
I know a family
Who hasn't a cent to their name
And yet the joy and love they have between them
They always claim
And when one's called from life
The survived mourn the lost
And will never be the same
Yet they rejoice
In knowing they gave them their all
These three words
Sweet and simple
These three words
Short and kind
These three words
Always kindles
When was the last time
Quando è stata l'ultima volta
That they heard you say
Che ti hanno sentito dire
Mother or father, I love you
Madre o padre, ti amo
And when was the last time
E quando è stata l'ultima volta
That they heard you say
Che ti hanno sentito dire
Daughter or son, I love you
Figlia o figlio, ti amo
Ones you say you cherish everyday
Quelli che dici di amare ogni giorno
Can instantly be taken away
Possono essere tolti all'istante
Then you'd say I know this can't be true
Poi diresti so che non può essere vero
When you never took the time
Quando non hai mai preso il tempo
To simply tell them, "I love you"
Per dirgli semplicemente, "Ti amo"
When was the last time
Quando è stata l'ultima volta
That they heard you say
Che ti hanno sentito dire
Sister or brother, I love you
Sorella o fratello, ti amo
And when was the last time
E quando è stata l'ultima volta
That they heard you say
Che ti hanno sentito dire
Darling or best friend, I love you
Tesoro o migliore amico, ti amo
The one for whom you'd give your very life
Quello per cui daresti la tua stessa vita
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Potrebbe essere preso in un batter d'occhio
Through your tears you'd ask why did you go
Attraverso le tue lacrime chiederesti perché sei andato
Knowing you'd didn't always show
Sapendo che non hai sempre mostrato
Just how much you loved them so
Quanto li amavi tanto

I know a family
Conosco una famiglia
Who hasn't a cent to their name
Che non ha un centesimo al loro nome
And yet the joy and love they have between them
Eppure la gioia e l'amore che hanno tra loro
They always claim
Lo rivendicano sempre
And when one's called from life
E quando uno viene chiamato dalla vita
The survived mourn the lost
I sopravvissuti piangono la perdita
And will never be the same
E non saranno mai più gli stessi
Yet they rejoice
Eppure si rallegrano
In knowing they gave them their all
Nel sapere che hanno dato tutto

Daughter or son, I love you

Aqueles que você diz que valoriza todos os dias
Can instantly be taken away
Podem ser tirados instantaneamente
Then you'd say I know this can't be true
Então você diria, eu sei que isso não pode ser verdade
When you never took the time
Quando você nunca tirou um tempo
To simply tell them, "I love you"
Para simplesmente dizer a eles, "eu te amo"
When was the last time

The one for whom you'd give your very life
Aquele por quem você daria sua própria vida
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
Pode ser levado num piscar de olhos
Through your tears you'd ask why did you go
Através de suas lágrimas, você perguntaria por que você se foi
Knowing you'd didn't always show
Sabendo que você nem sempre mostrou
Just how much you loved them so
O quanto você os amava
