Jonathan, Jonathan, where have you been ?
I was searching for you since you once left me.
Tell me, Boy, did you ever miss
your sweet home and a single kiss,
oh, Jonathan, Jonathan, where have you been ?

Mother, oh, Mother dear donâ??t you cry,
I also missed you, but I had to fly,
fly away from my once loved home,
fly away, weak and on my own,
Mother, oh, Mother dear donâ??t you cry.

Oh please, forgive your son,
Son, will you stay by my side,
I have to leave you once again,
donâ??t forget the place you can hide.
Mother, oh, Mother dear donâ??t you cry.

Solo

Fly my only son,
but donâ??t forget, where youâ??re coming from !
