Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This poignant lullaby is sung by a mother comforting her child amid hardships, fear, and emotional pain. She affectionately describes her child as a waking dream, a tied flower garland, and a treasured gem that anchors her life. Through comforting words, she reassures her son that grief and suffering are temporary and that even shed tears can transform into strength and resilience like diamonds.
