Mother, If Only I Could

And again that same tune // That you sang to me once, a lullaby
It plays in my heart, reminds me of that place

That place across the sea // When the sands were my home
And the winds whispered that I'm not alone

And you held my hand // You said: "Look up to the sky" //
You promised that someday we'll come back here...

Mother, if only I could // Heal this longing
These memories still burn my brain // Love didn't win neither did the wind
Mother, if only I could // Believe you and not run away
My heart was betrayed, it won't let me trust // Only this tune still gives me

strength

And again that same tune // Every year during summertime
In the greenhouses, orange flowers still grow like in the old days
The children slowly grew as well // Almost everyone had built a home
Only the street names remember what was stolen

You remember how we sang before the hall // If I forget thee, Jerusalem
We screamed that someday we will return...

Chorus: Mother, if only I could // Heal this longing...

We'll go back there, we'll go back there, we'll return, Mother, we will return...

Mother, if only I could // Heal this longing

These memories still burn my brain // Love didn't die neither did the wind
Mother, if only I could // Believe you and not run away
My heart is beating, it wants to rejoice again // And this tune still gives me
strength.
