Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (our roots)
Into sorrowful soil
Our roots are dug
Into sorrowful soil (sorrowful soil)
Our roots are dug (our roots are dug, are dug)

In a woman's lifetime
She gets four-hundred eggs
But only two or three nests
Woven with a mother's life force (woven with a mother's life force)
Emotional textile (woven with a mother's life force)
Self-sacrificial (woven with a mother's life force)
This is emotional textile (woven with a mother's life force)
Self-sacrificial, self-sacrificial

Nihilist happening
Cut through this nihilist happening
You did well
You, you did your best
Well, you did your best, you did well (you, you did well)
You did-did, did-did-did, did well
You did, did, did-did-did-did-did-did-did well
You did, did, did-did-did-did well
You did well
