Song Lyrics:
Your new school bag is taken by someone for you, and your flower umbrella in the rain is taken by someone for you.
You love to eat that three fresh fillings someone to give you a package, your aggrieved tears someone to wipe you.
Ah, this person is mother.
Ah, this person is mom.
This person gave me life and a home.
Ah, no matter how far you go.
No matter what you are doing. You can't leave our mom at any time.
You are in a country where there are people who care about you, and when you return home there are people who make hot tea.
You are lying in the hospital bed, there are people who shed tears, and when you smile, there are people who are happy.
Ah, this person is mother.
Ah, this person is mom.
This person gave me life and a home.
Ah, no matter how rich you are.
No matter how big you are, you can never forget your mom.
