Текст песни: Whisper Your Mother's Name + перевод

I was seated one day in a gilded cafe

In a windows that looked on the street;

A face caught my eye in a crowd passing by

And I hastily sprang to my feet

It was my sister’s sad face I had left home to trace;

Thru her pride she had left us one day

And it brought back to me as plain as could be

My mother, as I heard her say:

If you should see your sister

Do not reproach or blame

Tell her how we’ve missed her

I love her just the same;

Say, my darling, the words that you brought her

Whether in pride or shame

Say that, she’s still my daughter

Whisper your mother’s name

There were tears on her face as she passed by the place

And I hastily sprang to her side

As we walked along, I said Nell, we were wrong

We are sorry we wounded your pride

Your sweetheart is true and still waiting for you

We are willing now you should wed if you’ll only come back

You can marry your Jack and please your dear mother who said:

If you should see your sister, do not reproach or blame

Tell her how we’ve missed her

I love her just the same

Say, my darling, the words that you brought her

Whether in pride or shame

Say that, she’s still my daughter

Whisper your mother’s name
