Lyrics

3. my dearest, my child/ they've snatched you away
Oh, that time, that time in the past!
I shall always remember,
and never forget
when I left my home

to walk far away
and showed and haul earth
in a faraway land
far from my child.

I searched for you, little one,
but can't fin you anywhere.
I am cleft from you, child,
separated from my family.

I searched for you, love.
In what realm are you now?
My dearest, my child!
They've snatched you away.

You cry in longing,
split from you kin.
You've gone far away
to a peaceful place.
