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,Habia salido a buscar a su papá,
he left his mother alone, very sad,salio 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..el 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 habia 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.
