Verse
Ich trage die Koffer schwer durch den Staub.
I carry heavy suitcases through the dust.
In Plastikbechern wächst ein wenig Laub.
In plastic cups, a little foliage grows.
Es sind die Erben aus dem alten Garten.
They are the heirs from the old garden.
Ich konnte nicht länger in der Ferne warten.
I could no longer wait in the distance.
Chorus
Mamas Blumen blühen jetzt hier.
Mama’s flowers are blooming here now.
Ich bringe die Heimat zurück zu dir.
I am bringing the homeland back to you.
Mamas Blumen blühen jetzt hier.
Mama’s flowers are blooming here now.
Ich bringe die Heimat zurück zu dir.
I am bringing the homeland back to you.
Verse
Die Erde ist trocken, doch die Wurzeln sind stark.
The earth is dry, but the roots are strong.
Sie hat sie gehegt, bevor sie ging.
She tended them before she went.
An jedem Blatt ein ganzer Sommer hing.
On every leaf, a whole summer hung.
Chorus
Mamas Blumen blühen jetzt hier.
Mama’s flowers are blooming here now.
Ich bringe die Heimat zurück zu dir.
I am bringing the homeland back to you.

Bridge
Der Zaun ist verwittert, das Haus ist leer.
The fence is weathered, the house is empty.
Doch die fremde Welt drückt mich nicht mehr.
But the foreign world no longer weighs on me.
Ich knie im Dreck und pflanze das Glück.
I kneel in the dirt and plant happiness.
Ich finde hier ein Stück Heimat wieder.
I find a piece of home here again.
Chorus
Mamas Blumen blühen jetzt hier.
Mama’s flowers are blooming here now.
Ich bringe die Heimat zurück zu dir.
I am bringing the homeland back to you.
Mamas Blumen blühen jetzt hier.
Mama’s flowers are blooming here now.
Ich bringe die Heimat zurück zu dir.
I am bringing the homeland back to you.
