A little girl

cried for help

cried in German, in Turkish

for help …

Leave my daddy

here at home with me

A pregnant woman

cried for help

with weeping eyes

tears were running down her face

she cried in German, in Turkish

for help…

Please let me be here with my husband

so that he can love

and hold our child

A mother

cried for help

cried for help

Leave my son with me …

The little girl

the pregnant woman

the mother of the boy …

they all cried for help

in German, in Turkish

cried, even though no one gave a helping hand

They all

cried for help

in German, in Turkish

The policeman

at the airport

heard the cries…

The people on the streets

in the factory

in the ministries

those who command there

heard the cries …

Yet no one gave a helping hand

They cried for help

in German, in Turkish

The politicians heard the cries

but no one replied…

Then spoke the

Immigration Act

They shouted for help

but no one listened …

In the newspapers

pictures of little girls

crying women

deported fathers …

Sad Germany

was behind them

Painful, dark

Germany

broken hearts

shrilling screams

they left behind

Oh, my wounded heart

be calm and silent, do not cry …

cry

no one can hear

My little one

cry

don´t you ever …

When in a country

same as Germany

no one hears you cry

cry … not

My tearful mother

do not cry

the tears of your eyes

which wet the earth

no one will dry

The day will come

when I return

When in a country

similar to Germany

the time will come

and the Germans

hear your cries

so I promise you

that will be the time

when I return

to You

forever and ever
