Joy carried in hand,
Flowers tucked behind the ear spread fragrance,
We shower our love on this colourful paper,
Because the earth needed one,
A star leaped down from the sky—
She arrived, and we celebrate this day!
Whatever sorrow may come,
I will stay by your side,
And shield you, so you can blossom.
Before any god,
All that I ever ask
Is for you to live smiling and flourishing.
It is a lullaby day, your
Lullaby day, here,
A lullaby day, a day
To celebrate you, that
As clouds drip with honey,
And the breezes clap their hands,
The day you came to this earth,
I will sing of this lullaby day!
It is a lullaby day, your
Lullaby day, here,
A lullaby day, a day
To celebrate you, that
As clouds drip with honey,
And the breezes clap their hands,
The day you came to this earth,
I will sing of this lullaby day!
