Apricot Stone Lyrics - Eurovision Song Contest

Many, many years ago, 

When I was a little child, 

Mama told me you should know, 

Our world is cruel and wild, 

But to make your way through cold and heat 

Love is all that you need 

I believed her every word, 

More than anything I heard 

But I was too scared to lose my fun 

I began to cry a lot 

And she gave me apricots 

Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun 

Apricot stone, 

Hidden in my hand 

Given back to me 

From the motherland 

Apricot stone, 

I will drop it down 

In the frozen ground 

I'll just let it make its round 

Apricot stone, 

Hidden in my hand 

Given back to me 

From the motherland 

Apricot stone 

Now I see the northern stars 

Shining brightly in the storm 

And I've got an avatar 

Of my love to keep me warm 

Now I'm not afraid of violent winds 

They may blow 

They can't win 

May the winter stay away 

From my harvest night and day 

May God bless and keep my cherished fruit 

Grow my tree up to the sky, 

Once I waved my home goodbye 

I just wanna go back to my roots 

Apricot stone, 

Hidden in my hand 

Given back to me 

From the motherland 

Apricot stone, 

I will drop it down 

In the frozen ground 

I'll just let it make its round 

Apricot stone, 

Hidden in my hand 

Given back to me 

From the motherland 

Apricot stone 

Hidden in my hand 

Given back to me 

From the motherland 

Apricot stone
