还有这门外头

wandering outside every day,

我是听得一清二楚啊

可以不管我的死活的

I even thought of ending my own life,

不要让这孩子

so he wouldn't have to suffer

再因为我为难

because of me.

可我就是想知道

But I just wanted to know

是死是活

was alive or dead.

我的儿

谢谢你为我儿洗清了冤屈

还请狄大人

Commissioner Di,

为老婆子守住这个秘密

please keep this secret for me.

让他继续喊我阿娘

做的牢丸

老天收回您的双目
