lyrics

Translation:
Daughter, you are a grown-up now as we parents have raised you with care
As we are going to separate soon, Mother truly can't bear the sorrow
Daughter, you will have to serve the rice bowl for another family in a few days
When you live in their home, you must be obedient to your in-laws
