| I buried him down by the river
| Lo enterré junto al río
|
| 'cause that’s where he liked to be
| porque ahí es donde le gustaba estar
|
| And every night when the moon is high
| Y cada noche cuando la luna está alta
|
| I go there and weep openly
| Voy allí y lloro abiertamente
|
| He and I were married
| el y yo estuvimos casados
|
| By this river 'neath this willow tree
| Por este río debajo de este sauce
|
| And with God and friends witnessing it
| Y con Dios y amigos siendo testigos
|
| He pledged his life to me
| Me prometió su vida
|
| To me he was Earth
| para mi el era la tierra
|
| And I rooted in his soil
| Y arraigé en su suelo
|
| I to he was Sky vast and free
| Yo para él era el cielo vasto y libre
|
| Of the burdens from which he toiled
| De las cargas de las que se afanó
|
| Then one night a terrible fight
| Entonces una noche una pelea terrible
|
| Words spoken better left unsaid
| Palabras dichas mejor no dichas
|
| With his wedding vows ringing in my ears
| Con sus votos matrimoniales resonando en mis oídos
|
| He gave his life to me
| El dio su vida por mi
|
| They say to love is to bury
| Dicen que amar es enterrar
|
| Those demons from which we all hide
| Esos demonios de los que todos nos escondemos
|
| But tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree
| Pero esta noche junto a este río debajo de este sauce
|
| Becoming one of Earth and Sky | Convertirse en uno de la Tierra y el Cielo |
