Dedicated to mothers of the fallen heroes
*Don't you cry, mom. I'll be back in springtime.
Like a swallow I'll brush my wing against your window-pane,
At sunrise I'll enter your dewy orchard,
Or fall on your doorstep like a raindrop.
Don't cry, my dove. Destiny had other plans for us—
'Granny' will never be your word.
I'll come and enter your dream quietly—
And tell you what it's like in my new place.
An angel sings a lullaby to me,
And the deathly wound no longer hurts.
You know, mom-even here I feel sorrow
'cause my heart bleeds for you, my dear.
Forgive me your black shawl,
Forgive me your solitude for ever
