On the thread of time...
Talking puppets dance here...
Sadly, from both puppets,
Tears stream down their cheeks.
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
Motherhood is a gift from God—
A woman turning it away
Is truly a strange thing...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
To give birth to their young,
Do cows and goats ever hesitate in fear?
Asking for birth control,
Do they ever plead with God?
Longing for a child of their own,
So many yearning women
Visit temples, sacred ponds, and deities,
Walking around them in heartfelt prayer.
Even after praying and making those rounds,
Is everyone able to give birth?
Can everyone who dives into the sea
Bring back a precious pearl?
The reason woman
Is revered as a goddess
Is the motherhood she carries...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
Motherhood is a gift from God—
A woman turning it away
Is truly a strange thing...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
For ten long months,
The pain a mother endures
Becomes the great triumph of gathering honey
In both her hands.
Without food or water,
She may crave to eat mere ashes;
Yet she receives sweetest kisses
In return from her child.
Yielding a green bunch of fruit,
The banana plant falls.
Giving birth to pearls,
The oysters perish.
Yet by bearing children,
Womanhood lives on forever.
This is God's decree...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
Motherhood is a gift from God—
A woman turning it away
Is truly a strange thing...
The word 'Mother'
Is a sentence holding so many meanings.
Does everyone get
The blessing of hearing it with their ears?
