Breaking Of The Sword
On a sunny April morning My dear son, you were born Until one day you were called away And from my heart was torn As a boy, you knew the stables As a lad, you knew the fields My son, you worked beside me But to country, you must yield You were called to serve the country You were called to serve the king And from our home, you left one day And of this, today I sing When I stood there at the station And our eyes, one last time met It was at that moment, my dear son 'Tis that I'll ne'er forget Is it now a mother's blessing That the country's truly free? You gave your life for all of us And all humanity As I stand here at your graveside Letras de cancionesThe spring birds sing their song My child, I love you more and more And will my whole life long You were called to serve the country You were called to serve the king And from our home, you left one day And of this, today we sing From Letras Mania
