Before this Christian communityAnte esta comunidad

I ask youHos pregunto
if anyone has an impedimentSi alguien tiene un impedimento
for this union to take placePara que esta union se realise
let them speak nowQue lo diga a hora
or forever hold their peace...O que calle para siempre

At the church door, a child cries,En la puerta de la iglesia llora un niño
inside a wedding was being celebrated,En su interior una boda celebraban
in a hut a woman is dying,En un chosa una mujer se esta muriendo
she is the mother of the crying child...Ella es la madre de aquel niño que lloraba

He had gone out to look for his dad,Había salido a buscar a su papá
he left his mother alone, very sad,Salió muy triste al dejar su madre sola
but upon reaching the church doorPero al llegar a la puerta de la iglesia
he saw his father, the groom of the wedding...Miro a su padre, era el novio de la boda

Barefoot, he ran towards the altar..Con pie descalso fue corriendo hacia el altar
looking at the priest, he shouted with emotion...Mirando al cura le grito con sentimiento
Listen, sir, that wedding must be stopped,Oiga señor esa boda hay que pararla
he is my father and my mom is dying..Él es mi padre y mi mamá se esta muriendo

The reverend looked at the groom and asked,El reberendo miro al novio y pregunto
tell me sir, what is happening?¿Diga señor que es lo que esta sucediendo?
I swear, father, I don't know that boy,Le juro padre ese niño no conosco
and I assure you the boy is lying...Y le aseguro que el muchacho esta mintiendo

But confusion arose in the church,Pero en la iglesia se formo la confución
they took the child out and he cried louder.Sacan al niño y con más fuerza lloraba
He stood at the door with a lump in his throat,Quedo en la puerta con un nudo en la garganta
while inside the wedding was being celebrated...Mientras que adentro la boda se celebraba

And unaware that his mother had died....Y sin saber que su madre había muerto
He looked at his father with his bride by his side.Miro a su padre con su novia del brazo
God bless you and forgive you, ungrateful father,Dios te bendiga y te perdone padre ingrato
He continued crying with his soul shattered.Siguio llorando con el alma hecha pedasos
