Select language to translate this lyric
Mother mother
I saw you cross the river Jordan
Mother mamma waam
I've been listening to you
So close and yet so far away
I've never stopped hearing your words
Since that Easter morning
It is now very clear
That the meaning of your last wish for me
Revealed my destiny
Mother mother
I saw you cross the river Jordan
With the most positive courage
When they washed your feet
Your last communion I was there
You fell down among us with a smile
And lay looking up
With the look of another world
You departed surrounded by the singing
And the praises of the hallelujia
Some envied your departure
Some came to offer what ever little
Comfort they could give
