Has a copy of an angel
become my daughter here?
Has a talking moon
come to rest in my arms?
In the smile upon her lips,
in her soft, gentle grin,
to live through ages,
I would pray forever.
Holding my fingers,
as my precious daughter walks,
the very meaning of life,
I too have realized.
In her eyes,
are the shades of a mother;
I become a child again,
I... I... I... I...
Has a copy of an angel
become my daughter here?
Has a talking moon
come to rest in my arms?
Haa... aaa....
Her baby babble is fresh poetry,
falling on my ears, it sounds so sweet.
My little firefly, my sweet moon,
aren't you my little mother too?
In the form of this flower-like girl,
I have seen my whole world.
In the sound of her laughter,
I too truly live.
Resting against my chest,
you are heaven itself.
Sweet, playful little parrot,
come... come... come... come...
Has a copy of an angel
become my daughter here?
Has a talking moon
come to rest in my arms?
In the smile upon her lips,
in her soft, gentle grin,
to live through ages,
I would pray forever.
Holding my fingers,
as my precious daughter walks,
the very meaning of life,
I too have realized.
In her eyes,
are the shades of a mother;
I become a child again,
I... I... I... I...
Has a copy of an angel
become my daughter here?
Has a talking moon
come to rest in my arms?
