My darling, oh my darling, aren't you God's own child? Even if hot water falls on its roots, the jasmine will still bloom across its branches.
The future will belong to you, and joy will surely fill your life.
My darling, oh my darling, aren't you God's own child? Even if hot water falls on its roots, the jasmine will still bloom across its branches.
The first life on this earth was born from water; that is why, my dear, water itself became your mother's milk.
Even if sorrow consumes you, do not lose heart; bamboo touched by fire goes on to sing a melody, my love.
My darling, oh my darling, aren't you God's own child? Even if hot water falls on its roots, the jasmine will still bloom across its branches.
Do not fret if bonds fade away like morning dew; trees remain for birds to live on, and there will never be a lack of nests.
What if your kin leave? Paths will open up everywhere; like a mother and a father, the sky and earth will protect you, my love.
My darling, oh my darling, aren't you God's own child? Even if hot water falls on its roots, the jasmine will still bloom across its branches.
The future will belong to you, and joy will surely fill your life.
My darling, oh my darling, aren't you God's own child? Even if hot water falls on its roots, the jasmine will still bloom across its branches.
