Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
Is this a river flowing from my eyes?
Oh dear, is this my fate?
Oh mother!
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
A father as innocent as a child,
why has he become so helpless now?
The heart that showed so much love,
why has it fallen silent today?
His memories need to return to him,
and for that, you must come back.
Remind him of your wedding day,
and the joyful procession through the town.
Left all alone, your child
suffers in pain—won't you look at me?
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
Is this a river flowing from my eyes?
Oh dear, is this my fate?
Oh mother!
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
May the sound of mother's bangles
ring out like temple bells.
Reaching my father's ears,
may it flow sweetly like honey.
My mother is no longer alive,
and my father has lost his senses.
As a child living in tears,
there is no comfort for me here.
Is it wrong for someone
to even have a heart?
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
Is this a river flowing from my eyes?
Oh dear, is this my fate?
Oh mother!
Still echoing in my ears
is my loving mother's lullaby.
Aariro aararo...
