  My son, instead of crying be strong  My son, instead of crying be strong
  Be brave and comfort your mother  Be brave and comfort your mother
  Don't cry for the tears are wasted  Don't cry for the tears are wasted
  Let not also the years be wasted  Let not also the years be wasted
      
  Forgive me, son, for this unjust death  Forgive me, son, for this unjust death
  Which takes your father from your side  Which takes your father from your side
  Forgive me all who are my friends  Forgive me all who are my friends
  I am with you, so do not cry  I am with you, so do not cry
      
  If mother wants to be distracted  If mother wants to be distracted
  From the sadness and the soulness  From the sadness and the soulness
  You take her for a walk  You take her for a walk
  Along the quiet country  Along the quiet country
  And rest beneath the shade of trees  And rest beneath the shade of trees
  Where here and there you gather flowers  Where here and there you gather flowers
  Beside the music and the water  Beside the music and the water
  Is the peacefulness of nature  Is the peacefulness of nature
  She will enjoy it very much  She will enjoy it very much
  And surely you'll enjoy it too  And surely you'll enjoy it too
  But son, you must remember  But son, you must remember
  Do not use it all yourself  Do not use it all yourself
  But down yourself one little step  But down yourself one little step
  To help the weak ones by your side  To help the weak ones by your side
      
  Forgive me, son, for this unjust death  Forgive me, son, for this unjust death
  Which takes your father from your side  Which takes your father from your side
  Forgive me all who are my friends  Forgive me all who are my friends
  I am with you, so do not cry  I am with you, so do not cry
      
  The weaker ones that cry for help  The weaker ones that cry for help
  The persecuted and the victim  The persecuted and the victim
  They are your friends  They are your friends
  And comrades in the fight  And comrades in the fight
  And yes, they sometimes fall  And yes, they sometimes fall
  Just like your father  Just like your father
  Yes, your father and Bartolo  Yes, your father and Bartolo
  They have fallen  They have fallen
  And yesterday they fought and fell  And yesterday they fought and fell
  But in the quest for joy and freedom  But in the quest for joy and freedom
  And in the struggle of this life you'll find  And in the struggle of this life you'll find
  That there is love and sometimes more  That there is love and sometimes more
  Yes, in the struggle you will find  Yes, in the struggle you will find
  That you can love and be loved also  That you can love and be loved also
      
  Forgive me all who are my friends  Forgive me all who are my friends
  I am with you  I am with you
1  I beg of you, do not cry   I beg of you, do not cry 1
