Oh God, oh God,
you give a child
as a blessing.
In every single cell,
you sketch a miraculous
poem.
Isn't it you, my daughter?
Isn't it you, my very life?
Are you the fruit of the penance I did?
Like moisture inside a stone,
it wells up deep within—
a father's love,
like roots unseen from the outside... oh...
Joy, pure joy,
joy, pure joy,
because of you, because of you,
a million joys!
Joy, pure joy,
joy, pure joy,
because of you, because of you,
a million joys!
Oh God, oh God,
you give a child
as a blessing.
The world you live in,
I understand it now,
and I realize
that world is me.
Appa, whenever I am beside you,
my heart wells up like a spring.
In every word you speak,
you carry so much kindness.
Even over my shadow,
you hold an umbrella.
You gave yourself to me as my daughter,
and came into my life as my exact reflection.
Shouldn't my lifespan grow longer now?
Are you my child, or are you my mother?
Do I even need another lifetime?
Enough, it is enough,
this alone is enough for me.
Enough, it is enough,
this alone is enough for me.
Joy, pure joy,
joy, pure joy,
because of you, because of you,
a million joys!
That my soul would overflow
with such boundless love—
on the day I was born,
did I ever imagine it?
Among all the souls that come to this earth,
does anyone ever get a father like you?
Without any sleep,
you fill yourself with thoughts of me.
Even in your sleep,
you wake up at the sound of my name.
My shoulders are here, close your eyes,
cherish them as your cradle.
I need you with me forever.
My darling, my dearest girl,
even after I die, I will be reborn as your child.
Enough, it is enough,
this alone is enough for me.
Enough, it is enough,
this alone is enough for me.

Beyond the translation

The song portrays a daughter as a divine miracle and a living poem granted by God, highlighting how a father's deep affection often remains unseen on the outside, much like a root beneath the soil or moisture within a rock. In turn, the daughter expresses profound gratitude for her father's selfless, protective nature, asking if she could be born as his child in every lifetime.
