Sarah

In the tailor's shop
Your old parents, your brothers, your sisters
We have so much pain in our hearts
Sarah, Sarah come back to us
Granny keeps crying
Her big child, her beloved
You were always her favorite
Sarah, Sarah come back to us

What did you need
You lacked nothing with us
Why did you go so far?
Here, what a sudden emptiness
Grandpa is starting to get old
He already has bad eyes
Knowing you're there would make him feel better
Sarah, Sarah come back to us

In the tailor's shop
Your old parents, your brothers, your sisters
Will find the old happiness
Sarah, Sarah if you come back
When we sit at the table on winter nights
When one by one Granny serves us
We feel that a place setting is missing
Sarah, Sarah it's yours

We read your letters from America
You made a magnificent match
So your feelings are explained
You want to forget where you come from
Helen will soon be twenty
She might leave before
One does not live for their parents
Sarah, Sarah I know it well

So be happy and without regret
But don't forget us completely
You have the life you dreamed of
Sarah, Sarah too bad for us
