with white snows
across wide roads
longing flew in
on blue wings

my heart became
pure and white
I returned home,
I came back

sing mother,
sing to me.
ooo... sing my dearest
sing to me.

I wanted to return
late to you,
I wanted to turn
pure and white for you

longing flew in
on blue wings
it returned me
onto the sun’s roads

sing mother,
sing to me.
ooo... sing my dearest
sing to me.

why are you quiet, Mother?
Mother, why do you cry?

sing mother,
sing to me.
ooo... sing my dearest
sing to me.
