Children's Day of Departure

I see you off as a mother

The sight of you cheering with joy

Do I look like I'm happy

In truth I am sad

In truth I am sad

If I cry

I can't leave

So as a mother

I can't tell you how I feel

I want you to be happy

That's what I want most of all

I want you to grow slowly in my belly

After you're born

You chased after your mother

And you cried

When you couldn't see your mother

You cried out of worry

You grew up so fast

You grew up so fast

You didn't want to talk

You got frustrated with your parents

You tasted rebellion

You grow distant

When you want to talk to them

When I don't want to talk

My mother accepts

My mother watches from afar

When I don't want my parent's opinion

I do what I want to do

When I have a girlfriend

I have a boyfriend

You become an adult on your own

You don't need your parents anymore

You'll make breakfast every day

Eating dinner together

Doing all the housework

Because I did it for you

I did all of this for you

To create a future for you

One by one

Our children are leaving us

I was cheering for you

I was really crying because I missed you

I made a lunch box

I heard that there was something in it that I didn't want to eat

Compared to their friends' lunches

"It's not as good as my friend's

Even those words

I was able to brush them off and work hard

Because you were there for me every day

You were there for me every day

Even if we saw each other from time to time

I don't need to see you so often

I don't want you to know how much I miss you

As a mother, I'll see you off with a smile

To make a place where you can always come home

To make a place where you can always return
