Many, many years ago 
When I was a little child 
Mama told me you should know 
Our world is [bad word] and wild 
But to make your way through cold and heat 
Love is all that you need 
 
I believed her every word 
More than anything I heard 
But I was too scared to lose my fun 
I began to cry a lot 
And she gave me apricots 
Kisses of the earth, [bad word] of the sun 
 
Apricot stone 
Hidden in my hand 
Given back to me 
From the motherland 
Apricot stone 
I will drop it down 
In the frozen ground 
Let it, let it make its round 
Apricot stone 
Hidden in my hand 
Given back to me 
From the motherland 
Apricot Stone 
 
Now I see the Northern stars 
Shining brightly in the storm 
And I've got an avatar 
Of my love to keep me warm 
Now I'm not afraid of violent winds 
They may blow - they can't win 

May the winter stay away 
From my harvest night and day 
May God bless and keep my cherished [bad word] 
Grow my tree up to the sky 
Once I waved my home goodbye 
I just want to go back to my roots 
 
Apricot stone 
Hidden in my hand 
Given back to me 
From the motherland 
Apricot stone 
I will drop it down 
In the frozen ground 
Let it, let it make its round 
Apricot stone 
Hidden in my hand 
Given back to me 
From the motherland 
Apricot stone 
Hidden in my hand 
Given back to me 
From the motherland
