This is a golden day, bringing times we never thought would come.
A wonderful day filled with joys never felt before.
A divine soul arrived, saw my sorrow,
And stood by as my protector...
This is a golden day, bringing times we never thought would come.
A wonderful day filled with joys never felt before.
Times will change and worries will fade,
If only we wait patiently.........
The child has reunited with the mother, my sweet jasmine,
Who could ever deny it?...........
Those who came in between and did us harm
Scattered and tore our bond apart.
What is this but a trick played by fate?
This is a golden day, bringing times we never thought would come...!
A wonderful day filled with joys never felt before.
I lived like a helpless fool,
Trapped by their deceit.......
Today, I have seen my child at last,
Only because of your kindness and support.....
Leaving me to thank you and cherish you forever,
You filled my heart with countless joys.
From now on, I will live together with my child.
This is a golden day, bringing times we never thought would come.
A wonderful day filled with joys never felt before.
In a mother's heart, a brand new
Joy was born, restoring her motherhood........
This is a golden day, bringing times we never thought would come.....
A wonderful day filled with joys never felt before.
