I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to be there for you, always.

I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to protect you like a mother, always.

For my sake, like my own shadow,

you stood right beside me.

Without letting even a fly or an ant touch me,

you protected me like the apple of your eye.

On every path that I walk,

you will always be right beside me.

Before I even have to ask,

you do everything for me.

A mother to my mother's lap,

and my own child—you are everything to me.

If I ever ask with tears in my eyes,

you would give your very life for me.

I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to be there for you, always.

I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to protect you like a mother, always.

Like the waves that constantly

come crashing against the shore,

if I were ever separated from you,

you would simply wither away in grief.

Tears roll down the corners of my eyes;

this is a forest grown out of love.

When everything else drifts away,

having you alone is more than enough.

God gave everyone

only one mother,

but until the day I die,

you are my second mother.

Isn't all of this a blessing?

I am your daughter,

and even if I am born again in another life,

you will be my son.

I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to be there for you, always.

I want to be born alongside you,

I want to be born alongside you.

I want to protect you like a mother, always, hey...

I want to be born... alongside you...

I want to be born... alongside you... mmm...
