''we all live like a rose
that shines during the day
but when the sun goes to its place
it goes,wither with the day''

for my mother, my father she has
and father he has my mother
we live together in cave
like birds in their nest
i knew not my father was the nest
to be eaten by the motherly earth

the husband of my mother
i saw u last night
when we dined together
you never told me it was your last meal

the husband of my mother
last night together we dined
now you fell asleep alone

the husband of my mother
why did your eyes remain close
please up and move me close

the husband of my mother
they are fighting the earth for you
with digger spade and shovel
putting you in your covered bed

the husband of my mother
hiding you under the earth
o!the husband of my mother
my mother's husband
when shall we see again
the husband of my mother


« return.
