Mao Amin
Mom, what I want to say to you is on my lips and swallowed.
Mom, I want to smile at you, but there are tears in my eyes.
Oh, mom, mom by candlelight, your black hair is frosted.
Oh, mom. Mom by candlelight? Your cheeks are printed with so much care.
Oh, mom. Mom by candlelight? Your waist is too tired to stand up straight.
Oh, mom. Mom by candlelight? Why did your eyes lose their luster?
Mom, my daughter is too old to hold your skirt.
Through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Oh, mom, trust me.
A daughter has a reward from her own daughter.
