You Gave Me A Mountain
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know lord I've been in a prison
For something that I've never done
It's been one hill after another
But I've climbed them all one by one
But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain, I may never climb
It isn't just a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
My woman got tired of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy
Me diste una montaña
Nacido en el calor del desierto
Mi madre murió dándome vida
Privados del amor de un padre
Culpado por la pérdida de su esposa
Sabes, señor, he estado en una prisión
Por algo que nunca he hecho
Ha sido una colina tras otra
Pero los he escalado uno por uno
Pero esta vez, Señor, me diste una montaña
Una montaña, tal vez nunca subo
Ya no es sólo una colina
Esta vez me diste una montaña
Mi mujer se cansó de los dolores de corazón
Cansado del dolor y la lucha
Tan cansado de trabajar para nada
Estoy cansada de ser mi esposa
Ella tomó mi único rayo de sol
Ella tomó mi orgullo y mi alegría
Ella tomó mi razón para vivir
Se llevó a mi pequeño niño
(repetición coro)
