If I call you a flower, you are that,
if I call you pure gold, you are that.
If I call you my daughter, you are that,
if I call you a mother, you are that.
May your lifetime be long,
a beautiful golden era.
May you live to see many generations, my child.
You are my precious darling,
you are my gold,
you are my diamond, you and only you.
If I call you a flower, you are that,
if I call you pure gold, you are that.
My family and relatives,
my wealth and all my happiness,
you are everything to me, my dear.
Apart from you, to call my own,
what other bond is there?
Without seeing you for a single moment,
my heart cannot bear to be apart.
My eyes refuse to close in sleep, my dear.
Even though you are all grown up,
you are still a little child to me, my darling.
Stay close to me always.
You are my precious darling,
you are my gold,
you are my diamond, you and only you.
If I call you a flower, you are that,
if I call you pure gold, you are that.
If I call you my daughter, you are that,
if I call you a mother, you are that.
May your lifetime be long,
a beautiful golden era.
May you live to see many generations, my child.
You are my precious darling,
you are my gold,
you are my diamond, you and only you.
Aha... aah... yeah...
Aah... aah... aah... aah... aah...
