PRAYER OF THE MOTHERS – Yael Deckelbaum
 
English version by Loes Swinkels

Intro ahhhh

A whisper of ocean wind
Is blowing from far away

And laundry is flappin
To the shadow of the wall 

Between the sky and the land
There are people who want to live in peace

Don’t give up, keep dreaming
Of peace and prosperity

When will the walls of fear melt
 
When will I return from exile

And my gates will open
 
To what is truthful and good


From the north to the south
From the west to the east

Hear the prayer of the mothers

Bring them peace, bring them peace


Intro ahhhh

Ocean wind is blowing
From far… far away
 

Where our sisters and their children
Live in fear and harmful ways 

Right here far away
We gather with all women
Singing prayers for our sisters
To bring them peace and prosperity
 


And together we keep believing
 
Hope will fill our dreams

And our hearts stay open
 
For all to live in peace

From the north to the south
From the west to the east

Hear the prayer of the mothers

Bring them peace, bring them peace


From the north to the south
From the west to the east

Hear the prayer of the mothers

Bring them peace, bring them peace


From the north to the south
From the west to the east

Hear the prayer of the mothers

Bring them peace, bring them peace


Repeat
