Childhood!

It is the elderly age of childhood.

It's the turning of the page when the first teeth fall out.

When the first molars fall out;

It's time to say goodbye to the carefree days of youth.

With its purity and honesty,

With its gentleness and ruthlessness,

When the first teeth start to fall out.

Pain has its own set of peculiarities.

When the first molars fall out;

Lose quickly and gain slowly.

When the first molars fall out;

Vacancies that are unsightly appear.

We bear new and lisping tones.

This has been a year of extremes.



When the first teeth start to fall out.

Ah, the serious ideas we have.

When their primary teeth fall out,

We wink at the mounting tears.

When their primary teeth fall out!

Teeth must chew in the future.

Several dinners of sour remorse,

And their anguish is visible.

As far as their first teeth are concerned.

Yes, but instead of grand teeth, there are grand teeth.

When the first teeth fall out, it's time to move on.

For meat, it's strong, and for bread, it's white.

When the first molars fall out;

Despite the fact that the crust is hard and dry,

It contains both health and power.

And things will get better;

Allow the first teeth to fall out!
