Ion - 2006 - Madre, Protegenos все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

The cold earth slept whilst I lived in enmity
I was too inept to see the light that shadowed me
...or believe

I'm fearless now, as mothers watching over me
As I'll watch over you, whilst we drift into infinity
Pragmatize, throw the darkness to the wind
And purify your heart from the feculence of sin

Just twenty years ago today, I grasped my mother's hand,
She kissed and blessed her only son, going to a foreign land;
The neighbours took me from her breast and told her I must go,
But I could hear my mother's voice, though her words were sweet and low.
Goodbye, Johnny dear, when you're far away,
Don't forget your dear old mother far across the sea;
Write a letter now and then and send her all you can,
And don't forget where e'er you roam that you're an Irishman.
