Translation:
When I had first met you
I had cried so much
Was I that happy?
Or had I felt bad then?
I can't remember that time now
I couldn't give you anything; I just accepted more
I still don't know how to be thankful towards you
I've been living all this time all too freely
Mother
When I call your name
Why does my heart start to hurt like this?
You've given so much
You can't give much more
But you're sorry because of it
What can I give you in return?
Mother
My dear sweet mother
Why are those tears streaming down your face?
You are so precious
The most beautiful in the world
You are my
My dear mother
I now realize how hard it was
Because of me, you cried so much
Why had I acted like that?
How many times had I done it?
I don't even know
Please don't be so touched by my small and petty gift
You know that you have given me so much more in the world
I'll do better
I swear, I'll do better
Mother
When I call your name
Why does my heart start to hurt like this?
You've given so much
You can't give much more
But you're sorry because of it
What can I give you in return?
Mother
My dear sweet mother
Why are those tears streaming down your face?
You are so precious
The most beautiful in the world
You are my
My dear mother
I may not remember that first image of you
When I had first looked at you
But till my last moments, I'll remember you
From the bottom of my heart
I'll always love you
Mother
When I call your name
Why does my heart start to hurt like this?
You've given so much
You can't give much more
But you're sorry because of it
What can I give you in return?
Mother
My dear sweet mother
Why are those tears streaming down your face?
You are so precious
The most beautiful in the world
You are my
My dear mother
You are my
My dear mother
