English

Whenever I reached out, you were always there, smiling
Maybe you were even more worried than I was

But now I’ve grown up
And I can understand a little of what you were feeling

Dearest Mama
The one person in this world who gave me her life
My Mama, I hope that from now on
You can feel my gratitude

Even when I made you worry, you never gave up on me at all, you just kept on pouring love on me
It’s because you were there that I can feel this happiness

I’ll always watch over you
No matter how old you get, no matter where you are, my special person

Dearest Mama
The one person who gave me light
My Mama, I hope that from now on
You find a happiness that nobody can change

We were born
Among countless encounters
And when I drew breath, without realising it
I loved you, all the time

Dearest Mama
The one person in this world who gave me her life
My Mama, I hope that from now on
You can feel my gratitude
