Will the circle be unbroken?

今日は、家族が誰もいなくて一人。一人の時は気兼ねなく自分の意思を行動に移すことができる。春は、私にとって切ない季節だ。前の前の職場でご一緒した方のお墓参りのお誘いを受けたが、美術協会の役員会がはいっており行けなかった。去年は骨折で行けなかった。本当に申し訳ない気持ちで一杯だ。そこで追悼を込めて歌を歌った。あの日々がよみがえる。この曲は、古い曲でいろんな人が歌っているが、私はインヤング・バシーが歌っているやつがすきだ。


　　
　追悼の歌「Will the circle be unbroken? 永遠の絆」/ Moby & vocalist Inyang Bassey





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 here 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
