Mutter
Mother
The tears of a grown old child
I string them on a white hair
throw away this wetted collar
and I wish I had a mother
No sun to shine on me
No breast shed milk for me
A tube sticks inside my throat
No button on my belly
Mother, Mother, Mother
No nipple for me to suck on
No warm cloth folds to hide in
no name ever given to me
fathered in haste and without semen
The mother that never gave birth to me
To you I swear tonight
I will gift her an awful sickness
and drown her in the river
Mother, Mother, Mother
eels living in her lungs
On my forehead, her birthmark
remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if I have to die
Mother, mother, mother
oh, eels living in her lungs
On my forehead, her birthmark
remove it with the kiss of a knife
even if I must bleed to death
Mother, oh give me strength
Mother, oh give me strength
Mother, oh give me strength
Mother, oh give me Life

Prepared this version by collating various existing translations and tweaking it so it can actually be sung to the original/tune music. Also changed it to hint another aspect - of illegal abortion and infanticide (rampant in some countries)
