My Mother
You know, old fairy tales tell
You fill my sorrow with peace
My shoulder is more than my eye
Mother, you stay by my side
There was a figurine I broke
You experienced so many disappointments
But know that I also shattered
Mother, I am what remains by your side
Mother, mother
Don't be sad
Your words always in my heart
Mother, mother
Come, don't be sad
I'm still
At your knees
In the long chat nights
Forgetting our roles, we become friends
It's not just the blood that connects us
Mother, we are what remains for each other
As I fly decisively on my path
You, under your furrowed brows
Start each new day with love
Mother, you stay by my side
