Mark Lee's daughter is currently suffering from a rare medical condition that affects her kidney.

This, understandably, can result in a lot of stress for the parents.

To show their appreciation for Lee, his three children performed a song expressing their gratitude towards him for his 50th birthday.

Here it is.

Lyrics translation

Papa, besides taking care of us every day,

You still have to work hard to support the family.

We have something to tell you,

Papa, you've worked hard.

In the 365 days each year,

Every day you toil silently without rest.

Every morning, before daybreak,

What accompanies us to school

Is your exhausted self.

Every day and night, busy at work

To provide us a life with no worry.

We feel very sad to see you exhausted.

As compared to before, you look more haggard.

Hope you can be safe and happy,

We'll be mature and sensible.

There's something we'll like to tell you,

Papa, you've worked hard.

In my heart, I love you the most,

Happy birthday to you.

In a post sharing the video, Mark Lee shared his gratitude towards the support he has received over the past 50 years.

In particular, he thanked his wife Catherine for taking care of the children while he works on his career.

He also revealed that the lyrics of the song was written by his 10-year-old eldest daughter and local singer-cum-song writer Roy Li Fey Huei helped with composing and producing the MV.

In reply, he also wanted to say to his children that all the hard work was worthwhile because of them.

Translation:

This song makes me teary.. I'm touched. My dad's birthday is nearing too. I can't see him anymore.

But from the depths of my heart, I wish him happy birthday, happy everyday as well as good health and longevity.

Dad, I'll always remember you raising us up painstakingly, moving items causes abrasion on your belly, scorching hot weather gave you a really bad tan.

You were too tired to bring us out to play during the weekends but you'll play games with us at home. You'd play chess, draw and perform magic for us.

Dad, you might not be able to see this. But these are words coming from my heart. I'll always remember your contribution.

Dad, you worked hard. I love you.
