Mother says, my child, take care of yourself!

The sadness is gone from her heart

If the two of them strike at the same time

When my friends do what my enemies do

My mother says, my child, take care of yourself

Even when someone is waiting for my way

Even when my days passed like a fairy tale

Even when good people hold my hand

My mother says, my child, take care of yourself

She waits with her eyes open at night

If the world shows me, I’m sorry

Worries and swallows poisons

My mother says, my child, take care of yourself
