{Verse 1}
She had a small child
So weak, like a seed under the snow
Then someone knocked at the door
Came in, took the small one, and left
It was Death
{Verse 2}
"Tell me, Night and Water
Where is my child?"
"Go at once through the woods
And you will find him"
{Verse 3}
The mother cried
And she ran through the woods so deep
She saw a hothouse in the distance
And went in. She felt her child was there
{Verse 4}
"Tell me, wise gardener
Where is my child?"
''Search under the flowers
And you will find him"
{Bridge}
{non-lexical singing}
{Verse 5}
She found her child
The little tiny seed, with a pulse so weak
Then, Death entered the hothouse
It stayed cold, her hands cold as ice
{Verse 6}
"Hear me, poor mother, your darling
Would never have a healthy and joyful life
Hand me this little seedling, I beg you
And put his heart to rest"
