MY MOTHER- WHEREVER SHE IS, THERE IS HOME - NƠI CÓ MẸ LÀ QUÊ HƯƠNG -Lê Chung

MY MOTHER – WHEREVER SHE IS, THERE IS HOME

(Original: Lê Chung)

Verse 1

Father went afar to distant skies unknown

Mother stayed, through hardship all alone

A handful of sour herbs became her song

To grant us children peaceful dreams all night long


Verse 2

Sunlight worn on her faded, tattered clothes

Wind may blow, yet she makes sure we have enough

Days and months pass silently, unsaid

Her only wish: we grow wise, with hearts well-fed


Pre-Chorus

Mother is the shadow at the garden’s end

The lullaby when night begins to bend

Mother is the salt that flavors life’s sweet strain

Raising us through joy, through grief, through pain


Chorus

My mother – wherever she is, there is home

Though I roam far, her love I always know

For all the life she’s given without fame

Her tender shoulders held the sky of my childhood days


My mother – a lifetime of silent sacrifice

Sweat and toil that nurtured our dreams alive

One day I’ll grow, walk through life so wide

Yet in my heart, mother is home inside


Verse 3

Though I’m far, my heart stays close to you

Every letter I write carries my love through

Little birds always return to the nest

Where mother waits, welcoming me home to rest


Pre-Chorus

Mother is the light that ends the night

The gentle call when I lose my way in fright

Mother is the stream, so pure and mild

Flowing through the years, nurturing her child


Chorus (Repeat)

My mother – wherever she is, there is home

Though I roam far, her love I always know

For all the life she’s given without fame

Her tender shoulders held the sky of my childhood days


My mother – a lifetime of silent sacrifice

Sweat and toil that nurtured our dreams alive

One day I’ll grow, walk through life so wide

Yet in my heart, mother is home inside


Bridge

One day I’ll return to her loving side

Holding the hands worn by years gone by

Mother smiles, clouds and sky feel warm and bright

Here is my home – in her gentle light


Final Chorus

My mother – wherever she is, there is love

Though life may pull me far with storms above

Thank you, mother, for a life of care

For giving me a peaceful world to share


Oh mother – forever etched within my heart

Your tender image is where I’ll never part

Though miles away, my soul still roams

Where mother is – that’s truly… home
