Lullaby, oh lullaby,
lullaby, oh lullaby,
my little queen,
my bright golden flower!
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
With just a single glance,
my heart overflows like a flood.
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
Even past the late night,
I stay awake, lost in thoughts of you.
Even the bright moon watches you,
without turning its gaze away.
To see you reach great heights
is my greatest desire.
The very moment I see that,
my life's breath can peacefully end.
You have become my very life.
My little queen,
my bright golden flower!
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
With just a single glance,
my heart overflows like a flood.
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
...
All the paintings would come
and stand before you to take a lesson.
All the flowers gather together
to blossom into a single flower as beautiful as you.
With the magic woven
by your sparkling eyes,
I turned into a caring mother,
following right behind you.
To put this into words,
what do I have, my child?
Before you,
I am only a beggar seeking your love, my dear.
Even the handful of soil given
by your sandalwood-soft fingers
turns into pure gold—
is this a magical wonder?
My little queen,
my bright golden flower!
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
With just a single glance,
my heart overflows like a flood.
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
Even past the late night,
I stay awake, lost in thoughts of you.
Even the bright moon watches you,
without turning its gaze away.
To see you reach great heights
is my greatest desire.
The very moment I see that,
my life's breath can peacefully end.
You have become my very life.
My little queen,
my bright golden flower!
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
With just a single glance,
my heart overflows like a flood.
Male and Chorus:
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
Precious unfading gold,
precious unfading gold!
