A mother pure as gold
gave birth to me.
The mother who gave birth to me
saw only tears in life.
Words can never heal this pain,
this sorrow will never end.
Words can never heal this pain,
this sorrow will never end.
A mother pure as gold
gave birth to me.
Oh, the mother who gave birth to me
saw only tears in life.
Oh... oho... oho... ho... oho... oho...
Even when she scolded me with harsh words,
she would still serve food in my plate.
Even with her frail and withered body,
she loved me with all her soul.
Though her mouth scolded me,
she never held any bitterness against me.
Even while wearing ragged clothes,
she never let anyone see her in tears.
When she could have asked for gold,
my mother asked only for a simple saree.
Yet even a single thread,
I never bought and gave to you.
Oh mother… ah… ah… ah… haa ha ha ha…
A mother pure as gold
gave birth to me.
Oh, the mother who gave birth to me
saw only tears in life.
There are sons who roam around idle,
jobless sons who do nothing.
Useless fellows like me,
there are so many in this world.
There are daughters who go astray,
there are wayward sisters,
there are wicked fathers,
and there are senseless wives.
But there is no bad mother, oh mother,
a bad mother simply does not exist anywhere!
Oh mother… ah… ah… ah… haa ha ha ha…
A mother pure as gold
gave birth to me.
Oh, the mother who gave birth to me
saw only tears in life.
Words can never heal this pain,
this sorrow will never end.
Words can never heal this pain,
this sorrow will never end.
A mother pure as gold
gave birth to me.
Oh, the mother who gave birth to me
saw only tears in life.
