To fly and fly away,
Come, come,
Across this entire world.
For our sake, the birds
Will give their wings
As a gift, a gift.
My precious life, the sweet gift of a child,
Like the waves of the sea,
Joy overflows within the heart.
To fly and fly away,
Come, come,
Across this entire world.
A lifetime, a life like this,
Could anyone ever get such a life?
Because of her, my partner in life,
Life from now on will stand tall like the Himalayas,
Rising higher and higher, step by step,
Growing and growing, so that the whole world
Will look up and sing our praise.
