Come Away Melinda
Mommy, mommy, come and look
See what I have found
A little way away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing but a picture book
They had before the war
Mommy, mommy, come and see
Oh, mommy come and look
There's five or six Melinda girls
Inside this picture book
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Mommy, mommy, come and see
Oh, mommy hurry, do
There's someone grown up very tall
Who doesn't look like you
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
Your father was a man like him
Before they had the war
Mommy, mommy, come and see
Such things I've never seen
There's happy faces all around
And now the ground is green
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That's just the way it used to be
Before they had the war
Ven Melinda
Mamá, mamá, ven a ver
Mira lo que encontré
Un poco lejos de aquí
Mientras cavaba en el suelo
Ven Melinda
Entra y cierra la puerta
No es más que un libro de imágenes
Que tenían antes de la guerra
Mamá, mamá, ven a ver
Oh, mamá ven a mirar
Hay cinco o seis chicas Melinda
Dentro de este libro de imágenes
Ven Melinda
Entra y cierra la puerta
Había muchas niñas como tú
Antes de que tuvieran la guerra
Mamá, mamá, ven a ver
Oh, mamá apúrate, hazlo
Hay alguien crecido muy alto
Que no se parece a ti
Ven Melinda
Entra y cierra la puerta
Tu padre era un hombre como él
Antes de que tuvieran la guerra
Mamá, mamá, ven a ver
Cosas que nunca he visto
Hay rostros felices por todas partes
Y ahora el suelo es verde
Ven Melinda
Entra y cierra la puerta
Así solía ser
Antes de que tuvieran la guerra
