Hush A Bye
Nail and stone it was my life
And dreams were always grown.
I'd build lovers into wives
And dreams into fine homes.
As simple as it seemed to me,
You would not see me smiling,
And I would cry to watch you try
To live your life to die.
So hush a bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleep my love;
Dry your eyes
And dream of
You're the one I love.
I did pray to be like you
To be part of your life,
But you were lost to richer lands
Your friends to foot the price.
And somewhere I just saw clearly
What you were thinking of
The diff'rence 'tween us must have been
That someone gave me love.
Arrullo
Clavo y piedra era mi vida
Y los sueños siempre crecían.
Yo convertía amantes en esposas
Y sueños en hermosos hogares.
Tan simple como me parecía,
Tú no me verías sonreír,
Y yo lloraría al verte intentar
Vivir tu vida para morir.
Así que arrullo
No llores
Ve a dormir, mi amor;
Seca tus ojos
Y sueña con
Eres a quien amo.
Recé por ser como tú
Para ser parte de tu vida,
Pero te perdiste en tierras más ricas
Tus amigos pagaron el precio.
Y en algún lugar vi claramente
En qué estabas pensando
La diferencia entre nosotros debe haber sido
Que alguien me dio amor.
