A life surrounded by loved ones
is greater than heaven itself.
No wealth or luxury is needed, my friend.
This is not an ordinary tale told or heard;
this story is something truly special!
There is the strength of a thousand elephants,
when brothers stand together.
Their love and self-respect
rush to be served like a feast.
Between smiles and tears,
there is no difference at all.
Happiness fills the entire home,
playfully leaping around.
Like the hanging roots of a banyan tree,
many relatives live united as one.
The heart that watches this
swings with overflowing affection.
Even if someone's eyes tear up,
many hands rush to wipe them away.
Only in a close-knit nest like this,
does the heart long to live.
A life surrounded by loved ones
is greater than heaven itself.
No wealth or luxury is needed, my friend.
This is not an ordinary tale told or heard;
this story is something truly special!
Just like a mother's comforting lap,
an elder brother's heart supports and shelters.
When looking at the younger brother's face,
the father's face appears.
In a home where loved ones live united,
God Himself comes to protect.
Angels come seeking this home
and are born right here.
There is the strength of a thousand elephants,
when brothers stand together.
Their love and self-respect
rush to be served like a feast.
Between smiles and tears,
there is no difference at all.
Happiness fills the entire home,
playfully leaping around.
Like the hanging roots of a banyan tree,
many relatives live united as one.
The heart that watches this
swings with overflowing affection.
Even if someone's eyes tear up,
many hands rush to wipe them away.
Only in a close-knit nest like this,
does the heart long to live.
A life surrounded by loved ones
is greater than heaven itself.
No wealth or luxury is needed, my friend.
This is not an ordinary tale told or heard;
this story is something truly special!
