美輪明宏が自ら作詞作曲した1966年のヒット曲。美輪が幼少時に一緒に育った友人の亡き母（父や子供のために懸命に働き続けて亡くなった）を回顧する歌である。主人公の過去には幼少時、母親の職業（地均しの日雇い労働者）がきっかけでいじめを受けた悔しさ、グレそうになりながらも高校と大学を卒業し、高度経済成長期の機械が普及した世の中で立派なエンジニアに成長した姿なども折り込まれている。(フリー百科事典 ウィキペディア日本語版より：https://x.gd/tneKJ)
ーーー
A 1966 hit song written and composed by Akihiro Miwa himself. It is a song in which Miwa reminisces about the late mother of a friend she grew up with when she was a child (she died working hard to provide for her father and children). The protagonist’s past includes the frustration of being bullied as a child due to his mother’s occupation (a day laborer as a land leveler), the fact that he graduated from high school and university even though he was almost discouraged, and the machines of the period of high economic growth became widespread. It also includes scenes of him growing up to become a fine engineer in a world where he lived in a world where he lived. (From the free encyclopedia Wikipedia Japanese version: https://x.gd/tneKJ)
