《获赠》

获 赠

你取之于我，

是我得到的最好的礼物，

当你知道我因施与你

而快乐。

你明白，我的给予不是

让你欠我的人情，

而是因为我想活出

对你的爱。

欣然的接受，

或许是最佳的赏赐。

我无法将二者

分开。

当你施与我，

我给你我的接纳。

当你取之于我，

我感激你的赐予。

——鲁思·贝本梅尔唱片集《获赠》

（1978）中的《获赠》一歌

英文

Given To

I never feel more given to

than when you take from me-

when you understand the joy I feel 

giving to you.

And you know my giving isn't done

to put you in my debt,

but because I want to live the love 

I feel for you.

To receive with grace

may be the greatest giving.

There's no way I can separate 

the two.

When you give to me,

I give you my receiving.

When you take from me, I feel so

given to.

-'Given To' (1978) by Ruth Bebermeyer

from the album Given To.

育儿，育己，在爱里！
