| When the ceremony was over
| Cuando termino la ceremonia
|
| A lad stood alone in tears
| Un muchacho estaba solo llorando
|
| For he had just said goodbye to the one
| Porque acababa de despedirse del
|
| He had loved through the years
| Él había amado a través de los años
|
| He stood all alone with his head bowed down
| Se quedó solo con la cabeza inclinada hacia abajo.
|
| As though his heart would break
| Como si su corazón fuera a romperse
|
| The parson came over and took his hand
| El párroco se acercó y tomó su mano.
|
| And to him these words he did say
| Y a él estas palabras le dijo
|
| When God comes and gathers His jewels
| Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyas
|
| All his treasures of diamonds and gold
| Todos sus tesoros de diamantes y oro
|
| You’ll meet her up there in heaven so fair
| Te encontrarás con ella allá arriba en el cielo tan justo
|
| When God comes and gathers His jewels
| Cuando Dios viene y recoge sus joyas
|
| Every night when the pale moon is shining
| Cada noche cuando la luna pálida está brillando
|
| You can see this lad all alone
| Puedes ver a este muchacho solo
|
| With his eyes lifted up toward heaven
| Con los ojos levantados hacia el cielo
|
| He’s repeating these words he was told | Está repitiendo estas palabras que le dijeron. |
