Mom (English Translation)
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
I will throw away my dream and smash it on the floor
How you’ve broken my destiny and set it aside
I will pour girl’s tears like rain
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble
