I gave you life, I chose a name for you
When night falls, I fondle your forehead
I often come to hear you sleep
The time for your first smile is not far away
(x2)
And then one day you'll leave me there
I know children, a child, it is how it is
If you cry sometimes, it breaks my heart
But I live with you and you make me happy
For the first time, for your first spring
In a small voice you call me mom
(x2)
And then one day you'll leave me there
I know children, a child, it is how it is
I see in your eyes my childhood memories
Cinderella, the blue bird and Prince Charming
I will have much sorrow, yet I forgive you
You will leave my hand on an autumn morning
(x2)
And then one day you'll leave me there
I know children, a child, it is how it is
