days from long ago lyrics
[rosalyn]
days, they roll on too long
no sun to keep my life from falling apart
and i just sit and wait for the world to pass me by
this world, cold and wild

[young rosalyn]
faces of children, shocked and scared
the war out there is too much to bear
i close my eyes and think of home
and mom

[rosalyn]
days of plenty, nights of fun
dancing in the dark ’til the morning comes
mami takes my hand and teaches me to dance
and the feel the music

[young rosalyn]
i stare out the window, wond’ring where she is now

[rosalyn]
i ask myself, “will we meet again somehow?”

[both]
’cause all i have to hold
[rosalyn]
are the days from long ago

[young rosalyn]
are you there, mami?
mami, arе you there?
i am lost without you
i don’t know wherе to go

[rosalyn]
mami, dónde estás?

[young rosalyn, (rosalyn), both]
are you there, mami? (are you there, mami?)
mami, are you there? (are you there?)
can’t go on without you
i need you here to hold me close (i need you so)
i miss those days from long ago
but those days, they fade

[rosalyn]
then they’re gone
arrived in berlin, a foreign new land

[young rosalyn]
didn’t understand one bit of what was said
papi finds me and takes me to his house
[rosalyn]
a man who’s dry and contained

[young rosalyn]
says “you’ll be safe in this place”

[both]
and the tears roll down my face

[rosalyn]
the girl i knew, i couldn’t let her go
but there’s no going back
no other way around
papi didn’t understand and we fought day and night
he’d scream and shout, i’d cry because i knew he was right
changed my name
bought new clothes
learned the tongue
locked away
these memories
locked away for good

[young rosalyn]
i know i can’t go back to the way things were
if i’m safe, why does my heart still ache?
[young rosalyn, rosalyn, both]
are you there, mami? (’cause there’s still pain)
mami, are you there?
i need you here right now
’cause i have no dawn and these wounds, they fade
but the scars still remain
’cause they’re still (are you)
there, mami
mami, are you there?
i’ve been alone for too long
i miss the dancing and being free
how could they take that away from me?
everyday (i sit and pray)
everyday
all i have to hold
are the days from long ago
