| You’ve gone so far away, my darling
| Te has ido tan lejos, mi amor
|
| Each time I think of you I cry
| Cada vez que pienso en ti lloro
|
| I press your picture to my bosom
| Presiono tu imagen contra mi pecho
|
| Then I feel that you’re close by
| Entonces siento que estás cerca
|
| Years have passed you’ve not returned dear
| Han pasado los años no has regresado querida
|
| Now they say that you have died
| Ahora dicen que has muerto
|
| But your soul will live forever
| Pero tu alma vivirá para siempre
|
| Now I know you’ll be close by
| Ahora sé que estarás cerca
|
| I saw you last while you were leaving
| Te vi por última vez mientras te ibas
|
| The tears from you I tried to hide
| Las lágrimas de ti que traté de ocultar
|
| You took me in your arms and said dear
| Me tomaste en tus brazos y me dijiste cariño
|
| Your memory I keep close by
| Tu recuerdo lo guardo cerca
|
| They buried you in a lonely graveyard
| Te enterraron en un cementerio solitario
|
| And a spot they left beside
| Y un lugar que dejaron al lado
|
| There I’ll sleep 'till Jesus calls us
| Allí dormiré hasta que Jesús nos llame
|
| So that we can be close by | Para que podamos estar cerca |
