Suffering she bears, yet tender remains
|
Soul of woman, with wisdom and grace
|
Willow tree that weeps, sad but not unloved
|
Cruelest winds of age,
|
working their worst where she stands
|
So much baggage, so much guilt
|
and the past seems so distant
|
I forgot how selfless you brought me life
|
And into your world
|
And of all the things I could sing of,
|
cannot express what's inside of me
|
The heart of your son is not so cold
|
It's never forgotten your love
|
|
Hold on mother earth
|
Now it's my turn to tend to your needs
|
Now I comprehend
|
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
I want to give back your love,
|
but I don't know how
|
Hold on mother earth
|
|
Patiently she waits, just watching the sea
|
A message in a bottle sailing on the tide
|
Her weather-beaten face,
|
hides her waning faith
|
Everything to lose, everything to gain
|
Take my hand and feel my love
|
I will heal your wounds
|
and make dry your tears
|
And of all the things I could sing of,
|
cannot express what's inside of me...
|
The heart of your son is not so cold,
|
it has not forgotten your love
|
|
Hold on mother earth
|
Now it's my turn to tend to your needs
|
Now I comprehend
|
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
I want to give back your love,
|
but I don't know how
|
Hold on mother earth
|
|
Hold on mother earth
|
Now it's my turn to tend to your needs
|
Now I comprehend
|
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
|
Hold on mother earth
|
I want to give back your love,
|
Please tell me how
|
Hold on mother earth
|

[ in Arabic, sung by Jbara: ]
|
Mother Earth, I give you my soul, my love, my respect, my whole life.
|
You are life, you are our mother, you are respect.
|
|
[ in Portuguese, sung by Andre Matos: ]
|
Mother Earth that sings and sings, life brings and gives, Mother Earth
|
that sings and sings, immortal life and time.
