Mum tell me about the pictures in your head, 
Pictures of the color of spring 
Show me a living image of the morning sun, 
Shining down on me 

Tell me some stories of the past, 
about the garden, 
our house near the river 
Reflections on the past 

Down by the shore the water was murmuring 
The scent of fresh rain, 
the color of innocence 
Our children were playing, 
uncomplicated 
Silently watching the birds in the skies 

Mum tell me about the fragrance of the afternoon, 
fragrance of the summer moon 
Show me a living image of a faint light 
through the branches of a tree 
Tell me that story of the past, 
about the garden, 
our house near the river, 
Reflections of long gone times 

Down by the shore the water was murmuring 
The scent of fresh rain, 
the color of ignorance 
Our children were playing, 
uncomplicated 
Silently watching the birds in the skies
