Ref. 2x
One mother liveslike a rose without raina son in a foreign countryis writing a sad letter
When the heart,when the heart would have strangenessin the embrace of a motherthe son would return
The mother's heart is tremblingwhile her words are running awaythe picture of her sontightens her chest
The mother's soul is cryingand like every lettershe would easily dieto embrace her son
