Three generations
This cot has held,
It gave rise to many cradles,
This very cot.
Three generations
This cot has held,
It gave rise to many cradles,
This very cot.
Grandfather, grandmother,
And in the memory of great-grandparents,
This cot lives on.
Whatever it touched,
Everything it touched,
Prospered and shone.
The chime of many anklets,
And the clinking of bangles, this cot has heard.
Many murmurs and kisses,
And moments of shyness, this cot has watched.
Holding so many lives,
This cot lives on like a mother's lap.
Turning a girl into a woman,
And women into mothers, this cot.
Offering milk at birth,
And the final drop of milk at death, this cot.
Cot, cot, cot, cot, cot.
Three generations
This cot has held,
It gave rise to many cradles,
This very cot.
Haa… aaaa..
If you look at it with reason,
It is just a lifeless thing, isn't it?
If you look at it with heart,
It is truly a living soul, isn't it?
Haa.. aa…
If you look at it with reason,
It is just a lifeless thing, isn't it?
If you look at it with heart,
It is truly a living soul, isn't it?
The very womb of our lineage,
Is this cot itself.
Inside the wood of this cot,
A family's generations of genes reside.
Enduring many joys, pains, and wounds,
Bearing them day after day,
This is the eldest living soul of the family.
Cot, cot, cot, cot, cot.
Three generations

It gave rise to many cradles,

And women into mothers, this cot.

And the final drop of milk at death, this cot.
Cot, cot, cot, cot, cot.
