APRICOT STONE

Many, many years ago

When I was a little child

Mama told me you should know

Our world is cruel and wild

I believed her every word

More than anything I heard

I was too scared to lose my fun

I began to cry a lot

And she gave me apricots

Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun

Apricot stone

Hidden in my hand

Given back to me

From the motherland

Apricot stone

I will drop it down

In the frozen ground

I’ll just let it make its round

Now I see the Northern stars

Shining brightly in the storm

And I’ve got an avatar

Of my love to keep me warm

Now I’m not afraid of violent winds

They may blow – they can’t win

May the winter stay away

From my harvest night and day

May God bless and keep my cherished fruits

Grow my tree up to the sky

Once I waved my home goodbye

I just want to go back to my roots

Apricot stone

Hidden in my hand

Given back to me

From the motherland

Apricot stone

I will drop it down

In the frozen ground

I’ll just let it make its round
