A Mother's Ode: Embracing New Life
Lyrics
When you were born the hibiscus was in bloom
Birth symbolized by the hibiscus in bloom, suggesting beauty and new beginnings.
And the leaves outside the window
The surroundings were vibrant and full of life, represented by the bright green leaves outside the window.
Were a bright green room
The birthing environment is depicted as a bright and positive space.
When you were born
Describing the ideal conditions during the birth with a clear sky and no clouds.
There were no clouds in view
Emphasizing the heavenly nature of the arrival, descending from the heavens.
You came down from the heavens
Portraying a sense of divine origin or significance.
And the world felt new
The birth brings a sense of renewal and freshness to the world.
My beautiful son, ohohohoh
