Lyrics from Animelyrics.com"otto ni sakidatareta hahaoya to,
sono hitori musume. Futarikiri no kazoku.
Musume o onnade hitotsu de rippa ni sodate ageru tame no
shigoto ni wa yasumi nado naku,
chuuya mo naku hitasura ni sono te o ugokashitsudzukete ita.
Heya ni hibiku no wa,
tanchou na MISHIN no sadouon dake.
Hirou wa kakushikirezu ni,
kuchi o hiraku tame no chikara sae mo
shigoto ni shuuchuu sasete ka, oyako no
kaiwa wa hi ni hi ni hette itte---"
| Lyrics from Animelyrics.com"A mother who outlived her husband,
And her only daughter. A family of two.
To be able to raise her daughter well as a single mother,
she worked without rest,
Day and night, moving her hands continuously and singlemindedly.
The only sound in the house
was the monotonous drone of the sewing machine at work.
Unable to hide her exhaustion,
She put even the energy required
to open her mouth into her work,
And the mother and child's conversation decreased day by day---"

I won't rely solely on you anymore

| Lyrics from Animelyrics.com"What's important now is for me to study hard.

I want to do something. But what can I possibly do...?"
