Une chanson marquante... émotionnellement lourde.
J'ai encore l'exacte vision du moment où j'ai saisi les paroles pour la première fois
J'ai encore l'exacte vision du moment où j'ai saisi les paroles pour la première fois
Mother, don't sit,
Mother, don't stand,
Mother, don't send me.
Sister, come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time.
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile,
Never see his face.
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate.
Mother, don't sit,
Mother, don't stand,
Mother, don't send me.
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can leave,
Brother is old and grey,
Brother is old and grey,
Brother is old and grey,
And he's only ,
He's only seventeen.
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate.
Mother, don't sit,
Mother, don't stand,
Mother, please don't send me.
What happened to home,
What happened to home sweet,
What happened to home sweet,
Home?
