He was her man, she was his wife
Era il suo uomo, lei era sua moglie
And late one winter night
e tardi una notte d'inverno
He knelt by her
Si inginocchiò accanto a lei
As she gave birth
Come ha partorito
But it wasn't his child
Ma non era suo figlio
It wasn't his child.
Non era suo figlio.
Yet, still he took him as his own
Eppure, lo prese ancora come suo
And as he watched him grow
e mentre lo guardava crescere
It brought him joy
Gli ha portato gioia
He loved that boy
Amava quel ragazzo
But it wasn't his child
Ma non era suo figlio
It wasn't his child.
Non era suo figlio.
But Like a father he was strong and kind and good
Ma come un padre era forte, gentile e buono
And I believe he did his best
e credo che abbia fatto del suo meglio
It wasn't easy for him
Non è stato facile per lui
But he did all he could
Ma ha fatto tutto il possibile
His son was different from the rest
Suo figlio era diverso dal resto
It wasn't his child
Non era suo figlio
It wasn't his child.
Non era suo figlio.
And when the boy became a man
e quando il ragazzo divenne un uomo
He took his father's hand
Prese la mano di suo padre
And soon the world
e presto il mondo
Would all know why
Tutti saprebbero perché
It wasn't his child
Non era suo figlio
It wasn't his child.
Non era suo figlio.
But like a father he was strong and kind and good
Ma come un padre era forte, gentile e buono
And I believe he did his best
e credo che abbia fatto del suo meglio
It wasn't easy for him
Non è stato facile per lui
But he did all he could
Ma ha fatto tutto il possibile
He grew up with his hands in wood
È cresciuto con le mani in legno
And he died with his hands in wood
e morì con le mani in legno
He was god's child
Era il figlio di Dio
He was god's child.
Era il figlio di Dio.
He was her man
Era il suo uomo
She was his wife
Lei era sua moglie
And late one winter night
e tardi una notte d'inverno
He knelt by her
Si inginocchiò accanto a lei
As she gave birth
Come ha partorito
But it wasn't his child
Ma non era suo figlio
It was god's child...
Era il figlio di Dio ...
