After ages, a conversation with motivated me to record this old movie song about the impending arrival of a baby....

Rough translation:

TMS: (It) will be born like a flower, like a flower (It) will smile (with purity) like milk, like milk

PS:

(It) will leap like a deer, like a deer (It) will steal the heart like honey

TMS:

There’s not a single soul that can fail to be happy at A son (child) who smiles like a flower

PS:

A jasmine that plays on one’s lap Is the very limit of the bliss of baby-talk

(like a flower, like a flower)

TMS:

I saw a life that’s dancing within I see his form as that of myself

PS:

He’ll come toddling, toddling He’ll give unquenchable bliss

Both:

Like a flower, like a flower…
