One of the fondest memories that I have as a child One of the fondest memories that I have as a child Uma das melhores lembranças que eu tenho como um filho Was of my old grandmother who was gentle meek and mild Was of my old grandmother who was gentle meek and mild Era da minha velha avó que era gentil e meigo Sunday morning always found her dressed in finest lace Sunday morning always found her dressed in finest lace Manhã de domingo, sempre achei ela vestida de melhor renda Then we'd go to church and sing God's grace Then we'd go to church and sing God's grace Então nós vamos à igreja e cantar a graça de Deus Glory hallelujah that's what grandma sang Glory hallelujah that's what grandma sang Aleluia glória que é o que a avó cantava She had to be the happiest person that I've ever seen She had to be the happiest person that I've ever seen Ela tinha que ser a pessoa mais feliz que eu já vi She'd clap her hands sing a song about Jesus set her free She'd clap her hands sing a song about Jesus set her free Ela tinha bater palmas cantar uma música sobre Jesus libertá-la And the Lord didn't mind that my grandma sang off key And the Lord didn't mind that my grandma sang off key E o Senhor não se importava que a minha avó cantava fora do tom People used to joke about my grandma being loud People used to joke about my grandma being loud As pessoas costumavam brincar com a minha avó ser alto For you could hear her singing far above the crowd For you could hear her singing far above the crowd Para você pode ouvi-la cantando muito acima da multidão Preacher Bill would laugh at her and then he'd say to me Preacher Bill would laugh at her and then he'd say to me Bill pregador rir dela e então ele diria para mim Wish we had more people who could sing off key Wish we had more people who could sing off key Gostaria que tivéssemos mais pessoas que poderiam cantar fora do tom Then came that final Sunday I sat in church alone Then came that final Sunday I sat in church alone Depois veio o domingo último estava na igreja sozinho And whispered to the Lord I know You had to take her home And whispered to the Lord I know You had to take her home E sussurrou para o Senhor, eu sei que você teve de levá-la para casa But I sure miss the way my grandma used to sing for me But I sure miss the way my grandma used to sing for me Mas eu com certeza perder o caminho a minha avó costumava cantar para mim And I really didn't mind when she sang off key And I really didn't mind when she sang off key E eu realmente não mente quando ela cantou fora do tom Now she's gone to heaven at last her soul's at rest Now she's gone to heaven at last her soul's at rest Agora ela se foi para o céu no último de sua alma em descanso Now she's singing with the choir that has to be the best Now she's singing with the choir that has to be the best Agora ela está cantando com o coral que tem de ser o melhor And every Sunday I can hear the angels sing for me And every Sunday I can hear the angels sing for me E a cada domingo eu posso ouvir os anjos cantar para mim But above the rest I hear one voice that's singing off key But above the rest I hear one voice that's singing off key Mas, acima do resto eu ouço uma voz que está cantando fora do tom
