|
| For it was the time of his coming.
| Porque era el tiempo de su venida.
|
| Evil was inside the boy,
| El mal estaba dentro del niño,
|
| You could see the devil in his eyes.
| Podías ver el diablo en sus ojos.
|
| They would drive devil out,
| Expulsarían al diablo,
|
| They would follow the
| Ellos seguirían el
|
| Teachings of the lord.
| Enseñanzas del señor.
|
| They would deliver his soul from hell.
| Liberarían su alma del infierno.
|

| No niegues la corrección del niño.
|
| For if thou beatest him with
| Porque si lo golpeas con
|
| A rod he shall not die.
| vara no morirá.

| They took him to a darkened room,
| Lo llevaron a una habitación a oscuras,
|
| To beat the devil out of him,
| Para sacarle el diablo a golpes,
|
| This violence was the only way, they said,
| Esta violencia era la única manera, decían,
|

| Pero el niño no pudo más,
|
| The spasms racked his body,
| Los espasmos atormentaron su cuerpo,
|
| And he did lay in death so still.

| Pensaron que la vida pronto volvería,
|
| The good lord would not let him die.
| El buen señor no lo dejaría morir.
|
| Time passed and the flesh did rot.
| Pasó el tiempo y la carne se pudrió.
|
| One by one they were led away,
| Uno por uno fueron llevados,
|
| But still inside their twisted minds,
| Pero aún dentro de sus mentes retorcidas,
|
| They could not accept the truth. | No podían aceptar la verdad. |
