Mütterlein
Little Mummy

Dear little mummy
At last I can be near you
Longing and loneliness
Are redeemed through blessings

Dear little mummy
At last I can be near you
Longing and loneliness
Are redeemed through blessings

The cradle that is your native dress
Floats along your magnificence
The pain in your heart turned into joy
Holds back in the conquered flood

The cradle that is your native dress
Floats along your magnificence
The pain in your heart turned into joy
Holds back in the conquered flood
