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
 I’ll just 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 wanna 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
 I’ll just let it make its round

Apricot stone,
 Hidden in my hand (Hidden in my hand)
 Given back to me (Given, given back to me )
 From the motherland
 Apricot stone
 Hidden in my hand
 Given back to me
 From the motherland

Apricot stone
