| Lyrics: | The day that we wed
You blessed us and said
May heaven bestow you grace
There in that
holy place
We shared our first embrace
Our cottage was small but richer than
all
The palaces of the king
All day the birds would sing
Our hearts were filled with
spring
Padre, padre
What happened to our love's so cruel
Padre, oh
padre
In my grief I turn to you
Then he came along
And sang her his
song
And won her with honey lies
He of the fiery eyes
Now it's not her that
cries
So I will pray
The hours away
And weary my heart has grown
Wondering
where love has flown
Counting my beads alone
Padre, oh padre
Please tell me how
such things can be
Padre, oh padre
Pray for my love and me |
