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 foi a última vez
That they heard you say
Que eles ouviram você dizer
Mother or father, I love you
Mãe ou pai, eu te amo
And when was the last time
E quando foi a última vez
That they heard you say
Que eles ouviram você dizer
Daughter or son, I love you
Filha ou filho, eu te amo
Ones you say you cherish everyday
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
Quando foi a última vez
That they heard you say
Que eles ouviram você dizer
Sister or brother, I love you
Irmã ou irmão, eu te amo
And when was the last time
E quando foi a última vez
That they heard you say
Que eles ouviram você dizer
Darling or best friend, I love you
Querida ou melhor amigo, eu te amo
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

Who hasn't a cent to their name
Que não tem um centavo em seu nome
And yet the joy and love they have between them
E ainda assim, a alegria e o amor que eles têm entre eles
They always claim
Eles sempre reivindicam
And when one's called from life
E quando um é chamado da vida
The survived mourn the lost
Os sobreviventes lamentam a perda
And will never be the same
E nunca mais serão os mesmos
Yet they rejoice
No entanto, eles se alegram
In knowing they gave them their all
Em saber que deram tudo de si

Que te escucharon decir
Daughter or son, I love you
