Translation in English: In the cold spring water I was washing my clothes While I was washing my clothes I thought about my dear mother. On the edge of a high hill Willow branches were swaying While the willow branches were swaying I thought about my dear mother. In the bitter stream water I was washing my hands While I was doing so I thought about my dear mother Who gave me birth. Youtube template artwork by: https://inktopiaillustration.wixsite.com/portfolio
