This never ending night
of longing and wandering
My hair has turned to white
My body’s ill

Suhail, my little light
and Fares, my precious one
Some day you’ll bring my medicine
I know you will
And I always will remember
like they’re wandering beside me
The dearest and beloved ones
you’re separated from
Stop crying now, my eye,
even if it seems forever
I will wander in this night
until we are home

So sleep, and you’ll be strong
Sleep on now, my baby boy
Some day you’ll take us back again
to where we belong
