Mother's Folk Song - Khanh Doan Composed by Trinh Cong Son Lyrics (Song lyrics) Mother sits and lulls her baby, swinging the hammock sadly, swinging the hammock sadly. Mother sits and lulls her baby, the clouds pass over the rapids, praying to the sky for rain to fall. Praying to the sky for rain to fall, so that the soil and soft threads can grow. Mother sits and lulls her baby, tears of hardship and sorrow for her life. Mother sits and lulls her baby, swinging the hammock sadly, years pass, her age wears away. Mother looks at her homeland, hearing her child's sadness, tears of repentance. Tears of repentance bring her child back to the world, a life of humiliation. A river flows forever to the sky, the precarious fate of man. Chorus: Mother sits and lulls her baby, a drifting song. Mother sits and lulls her baby, swinging the hammock sadly, swinging her fate. Mother sits and lulls her baby, hearing the earth silently calling out to fulfill the debt of exile. Mother sits and lulls her baby for a hundred years like a sad statue, leaving behind her homeland. Her age is still lonely, the world is hateful, war, prison.
