| He was her man and she was his wife
| El era su hombre y ella su esposa.
|
| And late one winter night
| Y tarde una noche de invierno
|
| He knelt by her as she gave birth
| Se arrodilló junto a ella cuando dio a luz.
|
| But it wasn’t his child, it wasn’t his child
| Pero no era su hijo, no era su hijo
|
| Yet still he took him as his own
| Sin embargo, todavía lo tomó como propio
|
| And as he watched him grow
| Y mientras lo veía crecer
|
| It brought him joy
| Le trajo alegría
|
| But it wasn’t his child, it wasn’t his child
| Pero no era su hijo, no era su hijo
|
| And like a father he was strong and kind and good
| Y como un padre, era fuerte, amable y bueno
|
| And I believe he did his best
| Y creo que hizo lo mejor que pudo
|
| It wasn’t easy for him but he did all he could
| No fue fácil para él, pero hizo todo lo que pudo.
|
| His son was different from the rest
| Su hijo era diferente al resto.
|
| It wasn’t his child, it wasn’t his child
| No era su hijo, no era su hijo
|
| And when the boy became a man
| Y cuando el niño se hizo hombre
|
| He took his father’s hand
| tomó la mano de su padre
|
| And soon the world would all know why
| Y pronto todo el mundo sabría por qué
|
| It wasn’t his child, it wasn’t his child
| No era su hijo, no era su hijo
|
| And like a father he was strong and kind and good
| Y como un padre, era fuerte, amable y bueno
|
| And I believe he did his best
| Y creo que hizo lo mejor que pudo
|
| It wasn’t easy for him but he did all he could
| No fue fácil para él, pero hizo todo lo que pudo.
|
| He grew up with his hands in wood
| Creció con las manos en madera
|
| And he died with his hands in wood
| Y murió con las manos en madera
|
| He was God’s child, he was God’s child
| Él era un hijo de Dios, él era un hijo de Dios
|
| He was her man and she was his wife
| El era su hombre y ella su esposa.
|
| And late one night
| Y tarde una noche
|
| He knelt by her as she gave birth
| Se arrodilló junto a ella cuando dio a luz.
|
| But it wasn’t his child, it was God’s child | Pero no era su hijo, era el hijo de Dios |
