Padre 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 embraceOur cottage was small
But richer than all
The palaces of the king
All day the birds would sing
Our hearts were filled with springPadre, padre
What happened to our love so cruel?
Padre, oh padre
In my grief I turn to youThen 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 criesSo I will pray
The hours away
And weary my heart has grown

Wondering where love has flown
Counting my beads alonePadre, oh padre
Please tell me how such things can be
Padre, oh padre
Pray for my love and me
