The lyrics of the carol:
Yellow quince…
Bitter-sweet…
Lamp at the window
All of our winter!
Sweet, yellow light
Like blond I was.
Mother put a quince
That is slowly ripening by the window…
I would bite it, but I’m hurting,
A kind of yearning takes over me…
And now when the year passes
It’s as if I feel it aging.
Yellow quince…
Bitter-sweet…
Lamp at the window
All of our winter!
My mother had no globes,
And no tinsel and no star…
With quinces
The winter holidays she decorated…
Mother put a quince
At the window to the road…
And I see how it illuminates,
I don’t have the power to consume it.
Yellow quince…
Bitter-sweet…
Lamp at the window
All of our winter!
It’s as if it’s got a clock inside of it
And mother’s holy cry…
Illuminates and withers
A quince on Earth.
Mother’s greatest luxury
When we still felt like kids
Was the loaf on the table
And the quince by the window.
Yellow quince…
Bitter-sweet…
Lamp at the window
All of our winter!
