mother and father's

[Paulfromitaly]

Hi,
I'm translating a letter witten in 19th century's Italian into modern English and I'm not sure about one sentence:

1. I want to kiss my mother's and father's right hands;
2. I want to kiss my mother and father's right hands;
3. I want to kiss my mother's and father's rght hand;
4. I want to kiss my mother and father's right hand.

Is " 's " needed after both nouns? He wants to kiss his mother's right hand and his father's right hand, so should I say hand or hands?

I would also say that sentence 1 is OK. I think that sentence 2 implies that right hands belong both to your mother and father

Make life easier by saying my parents' right hands?

I could, but in the original Italian version he doesn't use the word parents, but mother and father.
