Mary Was An Only Child

Maria Era Hija Única

Mary Was An Only Child

Maria era hija única
Mary was an only child
Nadie la abrazó, nadie sonrió
Nobody held her, nobody smiled
Ella nación en un remolque, miserable y pobre
She was born in a trailer, wretched and poor
Y brillaba como una joya en una tienda de 5 centavos
And she shone like a gem in a five and dime store

María no tenía amigos en absoluto
Mary had no friends at all
Solo caras famosas clavadas en la pared
Just famous faces pinned to the wall
Todos las miraban, pero ninguno la vio
All of them watched her, none of them saw
Que brillaba como una joya de 5 centavos en una tienda
That she shone like a gem in a five and dime store

Y si miras las estrellas por la noche
And if you watch the stars at night
Las encuentras a todas brillando iguales
And find them shining equally bright
Podrías haber visto a Jesus y no supiese
You might have seen Jesus and not have known what you saw
¿Quién notaría una joya de 5 centavos en una tienda?
Who would notice a gem in a five and dime store?
