O crawling golden flower,
(Golden flower)
O white moon nodding your head,
(White moon)
Magical smiles
overflow in you.
Crossing the doorway of the womb,
(Crossing)
you arrived into my hands.
(Arrived)
There are endless stories
to tell you.
I rest my head on your lap,
and I carry you against my chest.
In both your eyes,
(In both your eyes)
lie my dreams.
Without you, my life,
there are no dawns.
O crawling golden flower,
(Golden flower)
O white moon nodding your head,
(White moon)
Magical smiles
overflow in you.
Sometimes you get angry,
and then you smile and work your magic.
With all your little mischiefs,
you win me over.
Sweetly on my shoulder,
you make a little cradle.
All the words your eyelids speak,
I listen to with joy.
Holding her hand,
I cherish this world.
Your speech, sweet as harp music,
is a lullaby to me.
O Yazhini, your lap
is like a mother's lap to me... ooh...
O crawling golden flower,
(Golden flower)
O white moon nodding your head,
(White moon)
Magical smiles
overflow in you.
Crossing the doorway of the womb,
(Crossing)
you arrived into my hands.
(Arrived)
There are endless stories
to tell you.
You play endless naughty pranks,
and then, tired out, you fall asleep.
You are the angel who grants wishes,
and you came as a blessing yourself.
I was a paintbrush without color,
and you gave me shades of joy.
Even when the moment of my death
comes near,
if I see your flower-like face,
I will be born again.
Tears in my eyes
will bathe me gently.
Without her, my days
would die in loneliness... mm...
O crawling golden flower,
(Golden flower)
O white moon nodding your head,
(White moon)
Magical smiles
overflow in you.
Crossing the doorway of the womb,
(Crossing)
you arrived into my hands.
(Arrived)
There are endless stories
to tell you.
I rest my head on your lap,
and I carry you against my chest.
In both your eyes,
lie my dreams.
Without you, my life,
there are no dawns.
