Don't Make Me Go To Bed And I'll Be Good

Un niño riendo una noche en su juegoA laughing baby boy one evening in his play
Molestó a la familia con su algarabía ruidosaDisturbed the household with his noisy glee
Le advertí que se callara pero pronto desobedeceríaI warned him to be quiet but he soon would disobey
Pues pronto olvidaría una palabra míaFor he would soon forget a word from me
Lo llamé a mi lado y le dije ahora hijo ve a la camaI called him to my side and said now son you go to bed
Tu comportamiento ha sido muy muy groseroYour conduct has been very very rude
Con los labios temblorosos y los ojos llenos de lágrimas me suplicó entoncesWith quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me
No me obligues a ir a la cama y seré buenoDon't make me go to bed and I'll be good

No papá y seré bueno no papá y seré buenoDon't papa and I'll be good don't papa and I'll be good
Eso es lo que le escuché decir y me persigue noche y díaThat's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
No me obligues a ir a la cama y seré buenoDon't make me go to bed and I'll be good

Nuestras vidas acababan de alegrarse por su brillante sonrisa ascendenteOur lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam
Nuestro niño ahora en nuestro corazón era muy queridoOur boy now in our heart was very dear
Apresuramos a su cama una noche estaba hablando en sueñosWe hastened to his bed one night he was talking in his sleep
No parecía saber que estábamos cercaHe didn't seem to know that we were near
Lo tomé en mis brazos y encontré su cuerpo lleno de dolorI took him in my arms and found his body raked with pain
Para aliviar el dolor hicimos lo mejor que pudimosTo ease the pain we did the best we could
Se me rompió el corazón escucharlo llorar fuertemente en su sueñoIt broke my heart to hear him crying loudly in his sleep
No me obligues a ir a la cama y seré buenoDon't make me go to bed and I'll be good

Toda la noche y el día observamos y rezamos nunca dejamos su ladoAll night and day we watched and prayed we never left his side
Dejarlo ir parecía que nunca podríamosTo give him up it seemed we never could
Se me rompió el corazón escucharlo llorar justo antes de que murieraIt broke my heart to hear him crying just before he died
No me obligues a ir a la cama y seré buenoDon't make me go to bed and I'll be good

No papá y seré bueno...Don't papa and I'll be good...
