[00:45.87] My son, instead of crying be strong
[00:52.62] Be brave and comfort your mother
[01:11.07] Don't cry for the tears are wasted
[01:29.13] Let not also the years be wasted
[01:43.23] Forgive me, son, for this unjust death
[01:47.61] Which takes your father from your side
[01:49.17] Forgive me all who are my friends
[02:14.79] I am with you, so do not cry
[02:23.58] If mother wants to be distracted
[02:25.83] From the sadness and the soulness
[02:32.01] You take her for a walk
[02:33.57] Along the quiet country
[02:40.23] And rest beneath the shade of trees
[02:42.33] Where here and there you gather flowers
[02:48.57] Beside the music and the water
[02:50.97] Is the peacefulness of nature
[02:56.76] She will enjoy it very much
[02:58.92] And surely you'll enjoy it too
[03:05.04] But son, you must remember
[03:06.66] Do not use it all yourself
[03:13.32] But down yourself one little step
[03:15.42] To help the weak ones by your side
[03:25.65] Forgive me, son, for this unjust death
[03:40.95] Which takes your father from your side
[03:42.51] Forgive me all who are my friends
[04:11.85] I am with you, so do not cry
[04:16.95] The weaker ones that cry for help
[04:18.99] The persecuted and the victim
[04:25.41] They are your friends
[04:26.22] And comrades in the fight
[04:27.72] And yes, they sometimes fall
[04:33.33] Just like your father
[04:34.47] Yes, your father and Bartolo
[04:41.46] They have fallen
[04:41.76] And yesterday they fought and fell
[04:43.80] But in the quest for joy and freedom
[04:49.80] And in the struggle of this life you'll find
[04:52.32] That there is love and sometimes more
[04:57.81] Yes, in the struggle you will find
[04:58.71] That you can love and be loved also
[05:06.21] Forgive me all who are my friends
[05:08.31] I am with you
[05:09.18] I beg of you, do not cry

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