Lyrics & meaning
Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This tender lullaby expresses the unconditional and eternal love of a mother for her child. The mother reflects on the joy of her child's birth—how she smiled when her newborn cried for the first time—and promises that no matter how old or famous the child grows, she will always cradle and protect them. She emphasizes that maternal love transcends all worldly riches, stating that even being crowned ruler of a motherless world cannot compare to the soothing comfort of a mother's lullaby.
