| The boy only wanted to give mother something
| El niño solo quería darle algo a mamá.
|
| And all of her roses had bloomed
| Y todas sus rosas habían florecido
|
| Looking at him as he came rushing in with them
| Mirándolo mientras entraba corriendo con ellos
|
| Knowing her roses were doomed…
| Sabiendo que sus rosas estaban condenadas...
|
| All she could see were the thorns buried deep
| Todo lo que podía ver eran las espinas enterradas profundamente
|
| With tears in his eyes as she tended his wounds
| Con lágrimas en los ojos mientras ella atendía sus heridas
|
| But she knew it was love
| Pero ella sabía que era amor
|
| It was one she could understand
| Era uno que ella podía entender.
|
| He was showing his love
| estaba demostrando su amor
|
| And that’s how he hurt his hand.
| Y así fue como se lastimó la mano.
|
| He still remembers that night as a child
| Aún recuerda aquella noche de niño
|
| On his mother’s knee
| En las rodillas de su madre
|
| Holding him close as she opened her Bible
| Sosteniéndolo cerca mientras abría su Biblia
|
| And quietly started to read
| Y en silencio comencé a leer
|
| Then seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
| Luego, al ver una imagen de Jesús, gritó
|
| «Mama, he’s got some scars just like me!»
| «¡Mamá, tiene algunas cicatrices como yo!»
|
| And they knew it was love
| Y supieron que era amor
|
| It was one they could understand
| Era uno que podían entender
|
| He was showing his love
| estaba demostrando su amor
|
| And that’s how he hurt his hand
| Y así fue como se lastimó la mano
|
| Now the boy’s grown and moved out on his own
| Ahora el niño ha crecido y se ha mudado solo.
|
| When Uncle Sam comes along
| Cuando llega el Tío Sam
|
| A foreign affair, but our young men were there
| Un asunto extranjero, pero nuestros jóvenes estaban allí
|
| And luck had his number drawn
| Y la suerte tenía su número sorteado
|
| It wasn’t that long till our hero was gone
| No pasó tanto tiempo hasta que nuestro héroe se fue
|
| He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
| Le dio a un amigo lo que aprendió de la cruz
|
| And they knew it was love
| Y supieron que era amor
|
| It was one they could understand
| Era uno que podían entender
|
| He was showing his love
| estaba demostrando su amor
|
| And that’s how he hurt his hand | Y así fue como se lastimó la mano |
