That Masashi Sada song played at weddings?

[gibodean]

For an assignment, my girlfriend translated into English this song, that is apparently romantic, originally by Masashi Sada.
This song is played at weddings she says.
Her translation of the first verse is :
Quote:
Before I take you as a wife
I have things that I want to tell you
I will tell you some severe things
but listen to my real intention
You cannot go to bed before I do
You also cannot get up later than I do
Cook nice food, be beautiful at all times
I don't mind if you try in an extent that you can achieve
Does anyone know the Japanese name of this song, where I could download an mp3, and the lyrics for it, in romanji or hiragana??
I want to learn to sing it, in case it come in handy one day... I'm just starting to learn Japanese, so initially I'll just learn the song phonetically, and hopefully start to understand it as I learn.......
And, is this really still seen as a romantic song in Japan ??? It sounds very sexist.....
Thanks

leonmarino, thanks for your help.
That's the one.
I've got the mp3, and I have some lyrics too, but I'm not too sure the lyrics I found are the right ones. I'll listen a bit harder to match them up...

I found the correct lyrics too on a webpage, halfway down the page, here:

this one is also famous..
kosumosu(秋桜）
A song about love between mom and daughter

The pink autumn cherry blossom
is swaying gently in the autumn wind
My mother who became sentimental recently
makes a cough in the garden
Opening an album on the veranda
she talks about my childhood days
repeating the same story again and again
in a soft voice, as if she is talking to herself
On such a serene Indian summer day
your tenderness deeply touches my heart
To me who will be married the next day,
(my mother said) "Face hardship lightheartedly don't worry, laugh it off"
"If you could treasure your memories
you'll never be alone"(my mother said) to me who am still willful
while biting her lips
Lending a helping hand with my luggage
the atmosphere was initially cheerful
but my mother suddenly starts to tear
and repeatedly tells me to take care
I'll try to live to the fullest
so as to thank my mother
On such a serene Indian summer day
please let me be your child
for a little while longer
