The blend of the soil’s scent
Reaches the lung
Warms up that holy thought
Of freedom you sung
You! The mother of longing soul
Made us so whole!
For and of you we’ll live
Fighting no more!
Every heart is lit with the light
Of the night of freedom
Atrocious we wouldn’t turn
In the name of freedom
You! The mother of longing soul
Made us so whole!
For and of you we’ll live
Fighting no more!
Our faces make the map
Our hands will guard thy lamp
Our hearts will sing thy chant
You! Mother of the longing soul
Thy boundless bounty love
Ties the very soul to soul
For and of you we’ll live
Breathe you till we fall dust to dust
