I want...

Once a small child I wanted to be,
presently a grand mother again.
Forever guided I wanted to be,
by your careful, loving hands,
which never hurting me.
I want so that your eyes
at all times will smiling on me,
to being my Sunshine
which glance every day on me .
So that the heart
which beats in your chest,
knowing well  the beat
of my heart....

Chcem raz byť maličká,
vzápätí zas stará mama.
Chcem by vedená som bola,
starostlivou milujúcou rukou,
ktorá nikdy neublíži mi.
Chcem aby tvoje oči
vždy sa na mňa smiali.
Aby boli slnkom,
ktoré stále žiari.
Aby to srdce,
ktoré tlčie v tvojej hrudi,
poznalo tĺkot
srdca mojeho....
