My child, my fleeting hour has come.
There's no mercy for me, no pardon.
Close my eyes, I know you're overcome.
And I have failed to guard you.
Over mountains, through the meadows.
You travelled far from home.
By the hand of your father.
I'm left, abandoned, alone.
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you.
Who loved you and swore yo guide you.
Through the darkest hours of your life.
Return to me, if only tonight.
My child, let your kisses console my heart.
Revive me with your smile.
All is gone now, now all is lost.
Heard me plead for one last goodbye.
Over mountains, through the meadows.
He carried you far from home.
By his hand, the hand of your father.
We're left, abandoned, alone.
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you.
Who loved you and swore yo guide you.
Through the darkest hours of your life.
Return to me, if only tonight.
Hear my voice, remember who cradled you.
Who loved you and swore yo guide you.
Through the darkest hours of your live.
Return to me, my child.
Let us reunite...
