| He was but a traveller on the lonely road of life
| No era más que un viajero en el solitario camino de la vida.
|
| She, her name was Mary, A lady of the night
| Ella, su nombre era María, Una dama de la noche
|
| She found him lying in that road, on a winter’s night so cold
| Lo encontró tirado en ese camino, en una noche de invierno tan fría
|
| Just another poor boy, treat him right
| Solo otro pobre chico, trátalo bien
|
| She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat
| Ella vio que tenía hambre y le dio de comer
|
| She knew that he was weary an he had no place to sleep
| Ella sabía que él estaba cansado y que no tenía dónde dormir.
|
| She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head
| Ella lo llevó a su casa a su propia cama, acostó su cabeza herida
|
| And washed away the world from his hands and his knees
| Y lavó el mundo de sus manos y sus rodillas
|
| He was just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Era solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| When he cried out in his sleep she held him tight
| Cuando él gritó en sueños, ella lo abrazó con fuerza.
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And she gave him love and comfort throught the night
| Y ella le dio amor y consuelo durante toda la noche
|
| Till the morning light.
| Hasta la luz de la mañana.
|
| At night she sat beside him, by the fire they would talk
| Por la noche se sentaba a su lado, junto al fuego hablaban
|
| He said all men were brothers and that love could conquer all
| Dijo que todos los hombres eran hermanos y que el amor podía conquistar todo
|
| Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear
| Muchos se reunieron para escuchar, muchos temieron por su vida
|
| In troubled times like these men seldom talk
| En tiempos difíciles como estos hombres rara vez hablan
|
| Oh they came for him one morning at the breaking of the day
| Oh, vinieron por él una mañana al romper el día
|
| She woke to to hear him calling as they carried him away
| Se despertó al escucharlo llamar mientras se lo llevaban
|
| Accusing him of spreading lies and hate
| Acusándolo de difundir mentiras y odio.
|
| His public meetings were a danger to the state
| Sus reuniones públicas eran un peligro para el estado.
|
| Some soldier said «Who was he anyway ??»
| Algún soldado dijo "¿Quién era él de todos modos?"
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And the tears were falling from her face like rain
| Y las lágrimas caían de su rostro como lluvia
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And they hung him on a hillside far away
| Y lo colgaron en una ladera muy lejos
|
| And on the ground she lay… Poor boy… Oh, my Lord…
| Y en el suelo ella yacía... Pobre muchacho... Oh, mi Señor...
|
| Oh my Lord … Oh my Lord…
| Oh mi Señor... Oh mi Señor...
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And the tears were falling from her face like rain
| Y las lágrimas caían de su rostro como lluvia
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And the hung him on a hillside far away, just another poor boy
| Y lo colgaron en una ladera muy lejana, solo otro pobre niño
|
| Just another poor boy, Just another poor boy
| Solo otro pobre chico, solo otro pobre chico
|
| And she’d never dreamed she’d see his face again. | Y nunca soñó que volvería a ver su rostro. |
