Will The Circle Be Unbroken
(Nitty Gritty version)
I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I said to that undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord, I hate to see her go
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Che il cerchio si chiuda
Ero seduto alla mia finestra
In un giorno freddo e piovoso (1)
Quando ho visto il carro funebre arrivare
Per portare via mia madre (la mia donna) (2)
Che il cerchio (3) si chiuda
Addio, Signore, e addio
C’è una casa migliore che sta aspettando
In cielo, Signore, in cielo
Caricala sul carro, dissi all’impresario (4)
(Bè, dissi all’impresario)
impresario, per favore guida lentamente
Perché il corpo che stai trasportando
Io non posso proprio sopportare di vederlo andare via
Ho seguito (il carro) da vicino dietro a lei
Ho tentato di tenermi su e di avere coraggio
Ma non ho potuto nascondere il mio dolore
(Ma non ho potuto trattenermi dal piangere) (5)
Quando l’hanno deposta nella tomba
Sono tornato a casa, la mia casa era vuota
Ora mia madre è andata via
Tutti i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle piangono
Che casa triste e desolata, ora!
