Who Will Care for Mother Now? Lyrics by Jay Munly

Galvanized Yankee

1999

[Woman (Spanish):]
Mambrú se fue a la guerra
Chiquitin chiquitin chin chin
Mambrú se fue a la guerra
Ay no se cuándo vendrá
Dra-la-la, dra-la-la...
No se cuándo vendrá
Vendrá para la Pascua
Chiquitin chiquitin chin chin
Vendrá para la Pascua
O para Navidad
Dra-la-la, dra-la-la...
O para Navidad...
[Munly:]
Why am I so weak and weary?
See how faint my heated breath
All around to me seems darkness
Tell me comrades, is this death?
Oh now well I know your answer
To my fate I meekly bow
If you'll only tell me truly
Who will care for mother now?
Soon with angels I'll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow
I have for my country fallen
Who will care for... mother now?
Who will comfort her in sorrow?
Who will dry the falling tear?
Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead
Who will whisper words of cheer?
Even now I think I see her
Kneeling and praying for me
How can I leave her in anguish
Who will care for mother now?
Soon with angels I'll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow
I have for my country fallen
Who will care for... mother now?
Let this napsack be my pillow
And my mantle be the sky
Hasten comrades to the battle
I will like a soldier die
Soon with angels I'll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow
I have for my country fallen
Who will care for mother now?
Soon with angels I'll be marching
With bright laurels on my brow
I have for my country fallen
Who will care for... mother now?
[Woman (Spanish):]
...para la Pascua
Chiquitin chiquitin chin chin
Vendrá para la Pascua
O para Navidad
Dra-la-la, dra-la-la...
O para Navidad...
