一辈子的十分钟 Farewell My Dear Mother

  The name of this song is 一辈子的十分钟 (yībèizi de shí fēnzhōng). Literally it means ten minutes in my whole life. A young soldier is going home to see his mother. But he only has very short time to hug her, then he needs to go back to the battle field again.

So, I translated the name of this song as Farewell My Dear Mother.  Enjoy! :)
