Even if all the gods from everywhere
come together and stand before us,
a mother is always a mother.
A mother is always a mother.
Even if the sky and earth pair up together
and stand before us,
a mother is always a mother.
A mother is always a mother.
Like fiery strength at one moment,
and comforting shade the next,
she takes whatever form we need.
Even if she is struggling in pain,
even if she suffers in hunger,
she will give her very life for us.
Even if the whole world turns against us,
even if all our kin try to stop us,
she alone will stand by our side as our support.
Making herself the wick,
and her own dreams the burning flame,
she shines like a lamp to give us light.
O pure love... a mother's love!
To express small, ordinary love,
a hundred languages are needed.
Mother, to express your boundless love,
your eyes alone are enough.
To express small, ordinary love,
a hundred languages are needed.
Mother, to express your boundless love,
your eyes alone are enough.
The very first time she saw me,
she would have wept with joy.
When I spoke my first words,
she would have smiled with pride.
If mistakes ever happen,
she will pick up a stick to discipline us.
Correcting all our flaws,
she will raise us up right.
For our dreams to come true... ah... ah...
For our dreams to come true,
she will pray with her whole heart.
Who on this earth
can ever compare to a mother?
So that we may blossom high above,
she silently bears all the pain.
Mother alone is the true root of this life!
To express small, ordinary love,
a hundred languages are needed.
Mother, to express your boundless love,
your eyes alone are enough.
Even if all the gods from everywhere
come together and stand before us,
a mother is always a mother.
Even if the sky and earth pair up together
and stand before us,
a mother is always a mother.
Male & Chorus: To express small, ordinary love,
a hundred languages are needed.
Mother, to express your boundless love,
your eyes alone are enough.
Male & Chorus: To express small, ordinary love,
a hundred languages are needed.
Mother, to express your boundless love,
your eyes alone are enough.
