A. Maybe we could have left,
But you said: I'll remain here.
I want to be buried with your father.
So we stayed.
Mother, you never had a grave of your own.
You come, homeless, to weep in my nights.
B. In the evening you said: I'll remain here.
It rains in my soul.
Even if I'll leave, the rain will follow me.
We stayed with you around the table.
Mother, we drank the whole night from our glasses.

Background: after the death of the father, someone offered to help them to escape from Poland, but the mother refused, and all the family stayed with her.
