Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
In the middle of an earth-shattering bang,
I saw you fell on the boisterous field.
Your heart-breaking call is still in my ears.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
Your shining tears turn into twinkling stars.
No more lonely wandering in the dark night,
'Cause I'm hand-in-hand with my school buddies, singing till our voice dry.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
My teacher said no singing birds or sweet flowers on the OTHER side,
So I kept turning back to look at home far away,
The beautiful scenary looks so grey.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
It's so hard to leave behind my dreams and memories,
Please take care of my fancy backpack for school,
'Cause I hear my sister's reading under the rubble.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
It's a pitty I can't wait to see the green army uniform,
But I'm still thinking to finish my homework assignment,
I still miss the blackboard, books, and the classroom.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
I won't be naughty and won't let you down from now on,
I will remember your smiles forever long
In my next life, I will cuddle in your warm arms again.

Don't cry for me, Mommy, I'm going to heaven.
There is hope whenever there is light.
I want to see you live well and be strong,
Your love will guide my way forever and ever.
