这首歌源自一部美国的电影《The Christmas Shoes》，中文名称珍贵的礼物。
The Christmas Shoes 圣诞舞鞋
It was almost Christmas time,
there I stood in another line
已经是快要圣诞节了，我排着队
Tryin’to buy that last gift or two,
not really in the Christmas mood
准备买最后一两件的礼物，
但我没有什么过圣诞节的情绪
Standing right in front of me
was a little boy waiting anxiously
站在我前面的是一个小男孩，他很着急的排着队
Pacing ’round like little boys do
就像一般小男生一样的动来动去
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
而他的手里提着一双鞋子
His clothes were worn and old,
he was dirty from head to toe
他的衣服都已破旧，从头到脚也是脏兮兮的
And when it came his time to pay
等到该他付帐时
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
我不敢相信我听到他这样说道
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生，我想替我妈妈买这双鞋
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今天是圣诞夜了，而这双鞋的尺寸刚好适合她
Could you hurry, sir,
Daddy says there’s not much time
请你动作快点好吗，我爸爸说她时间不多了
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
你知道吗，她已经生病很久了
And I know these shoes would make her smile
我想这双鞋会让她高兴的笑的
And I want her to look beautiful
if Mama meets Jesus tonight
如果妈妈今晚会见到上帝的话，
我想让她看起来漂亮些
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
他数着一个一个的分钱，时间好像过了许久似的
Then the cashier said, Son, there’s not enough here
收银员说：“孩子啊，你的钱不够啊”
He searched his pockets frantically
他又着急惊慌的找翻了他的口袋
Then he turned and he looked at me
然后他转身过来看着我
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
他说：“妈妈总是让家里的圣诞节过的很棒
Though most years she just did without
但这些年她都没过了
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do?
先生，请你告诉我 ，我该怎么办 ？”
Somehow I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
我一定得想法帮她买到这双圣诞鞋
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
我把钱放在柜台上，我一定要帮他
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said
我永远不会忘记在当时他脸上的表情
Mama’s gonna look so great
他说妈妈一定会看起来很漂亮的
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生，我想替我妈妈买这双鞋
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今天是圣诞夜了，而这双鞋的尺寸刚好适合她
Could you hurry, sir,
Daddy says there’s not much time
请你动作快点好吗，我爸爸说她时间不多了
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
你知道吗，她已经生病很久了
And I know these shoes would make her smile
我想这双鞋会让她高兴的笑的
And I want her to look beautiful
if Mama meets Jesus tonight
如果妈妈今晚会见到上帝的话，
我想让她看起来漂亮些
I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love
我知道那天当他向我道谢后跑出去时
As he thanked me and ran out
我看到了一线天堂之爱
I knew that God had sent that little boy
我知道是上帝把这个小男孩送到我面前来
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
它是要提醒我：圣诞节的意义是什么
