I was standing by the window I was standing by the window Eu estava de pé ao lado da janela On a cold and cloudy day On a cold and cloudy day Em um dia frio e nublado When I saw the hearse come rolling When I saw the hearse come rolling Quando eu vi o carro fúnebre vêm rolando To carry my mother away To carry my mother away Para levar a minha mãe embora Will the circle be unbroken Will the circle be unbroken Será que o círculo seja ininterrupta Bye and bye Lord bye and bye Bye and bye Lord bye and bye Bye bye bye e Senhor e bye There's a better home a waiting There's a better home a waiting Há uma casa melhor uma espera In the sky Lord in the sky In the sky Lord in the sky No Senhor do céu no céu Lord I told that undertaker Lord I told that undertaker Senhor, eu disse que agente funerário Undertaker please drive slow Undertaker please drive slow Undertaker unidade por favor lento For that body you're a haulin' For that body you're a haulin' Para que o corpo você é um 'haulin Lord I hate to see her go Lord I hate to see her go Senhor, eu odeio vê-la ir Well I followed close behind her Well I followed close behind her Bem, eu o seguia de perto dela Tried to hold up and be brave Tried to hold up and be brave Tentou segurar-se e ser corajoso But I could not hide my sorrow But I could not hide my sorrow Mas eu não conseguia esconder minha tristeza When they laid her in that grave. When they laid her in that grave. Quando a colocaram no que grave. I went back home Lord that home was lonesome I went back home Lord that home was lonesome Voltei para casa Senhor que a casa foi solitário Since my mother, she was gone Since my mother, she was gone Desde a minha mãe, ela se foi All my brothers and sisters crying All my brothers and sisters crying Todos os meus irmãos e irmãs chorando What a home so sad and alone. What a home so sad and alone. O que uma casa tão triste e sozinha. One by one the seats were emptied One by one the seats were emptied Um por um, os assentos foram esvaziadas One by one they went away One by one they went away Um a um, eles foram embora Now that family they are parted Now that family they are parted Agora que a família que estão separados Will they meet again some day. Will they meet again some day. Será que eles vão encontrar novamente algum dia. I was singing with my sisters I was singing with my sisters Eu estava cantando com minhas irmãs I was singing with my friends I was singing with my friends Eu estava cantando com os meus amigos And we all can, sing together And we all can, sing together E todos nós podemos, cantam juntos 'Cause the circle never ends 'Cause the circle never ends Porque o círculo nunca termina
