Aha... Aha... Aah...
When you were born, here
I was born as a mother.
To be the swing you ride on,
my heart yearns.
Aaha... Aah... Aah...
You are music,
you are the teardrop within me,
you are the morning light.
You are my life,
and you are my smile.
Who are you? You are the shoulder I lean on.
Honey-ma (sweetheart),
tell me more, my dear girl.
Are you doing well?
When you playfully scold, pamper me, and laugh,
tell me, are you the child or the mother?
When you were born, here
I was born as a mother.
To be the swing you ride on,
my heart yearns.

Overall song meaning

The speaker describes how the child encompasses every emotion and beauty in life—serving as music, morning sunlight, tears, and smiles—while playfully questioning whether the child is an infant or a nurturing mother figure.
