The source of the river that is me,

O mother, my very foundation,

The womb that carried me,

A sacred shrine without equal,

I think of you every single day,

I think of you every single day.

Just like you, I became a life,

And as a woman, I became a mother,

Having you as the true purpose of my birth,

And this greatest pride that happened to me—

I remember it every single day,

I remember it every single day.

You are my mother, you are my father,

You are the one who rules me with love.

Giving birth to you as the purpose of my life,

And the greatest pride that happened to me—

I remember it every single day.

Seeking the likeness of your heart,

I searched for a woman,

Through the embers of old dreams,

I watch with tear-filled eyes.

Will those old memories return again?

Will I get to rest upon the lap where I was born?

Will that day come?

Will that blessed day arrive?
