When they carried you into the parlor
Saat mereka membawamu ke ruang tamu
Your wounds were the worst I'd seen
Luka-lukamu adalah yang terburuk yang pernah kulihat
Cold as snow as your body trembled
Sedingin salju saat tubuhmu bergetar
Cradled in the arms of morphine
Dipeluk dalam dekapan morfin

All the kinfolk cried out loud
Semua kerabat berteriak keras
"Good Shepherd save this man"
"Gembala yang baik, selamatkanlah pria ini"
But you whispered with icy breath
Tapi kau berbisik dengan napas dingin
"It is not in His hands," and you said
"Ini bukan di tangan-Nya," dan kau berkata

"Heaven ain't ready for me yet," and you looked at me
"Surga belum siap untukku," dan kau menatapku
"Give me your heart and take a bet," and you held my hand
"Berikan aku hatimu dan ayo bertaruh," dan kau menggenggam tanganku
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
"Sekarang aku sudah melihat wajahmu, sekarang kita sudah bertemu
"I shall not slip away"
"Aku tidak akan menghilang"

Mama said to me, "daughter
Mama berkata padaku, "anakku
"You must nurse your cousin well"
"Kau harus merawat sepupumu dengan baik"
So I cared for you through days and nights
Jadi aku merawatmu siang dan malam
But your fever I did not quell
Tapi demammu tidak kunjung reda

For weeks I watched you suffer pain
Selama berminggu-minggu aku melihatmu menderita rasa sakit
That no laudanum could ease
Yang tak bisa diringankan oleh laudanum
All I had left to do is pray
Yang bisa kulakukan hanyalah berdoa
"Lord have mercy on him please," and you said
"Tuhan, kasihanilah dia, tolong," dan kau berkata

"Heaven ain't ready for me yet," and you looked at me
"Surga belum siap untukku," dan kau menatapku
"Give me your heart and take a bet," and you held my hand
"Berikan aku hatimu dan ayo bertaruh," dan kau menggenggam tanganku
"Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
"Sekarang aku sudah melihat wajahmu, sekarang kita sudah bertemu
"I shall not slip away"
"Aku tidak akan menghilang"

Now winter's lights has cooled the air
Sekarang cahaya musim dingin telah mendinginkan udara
At last your strength's returned
Akhirnya kekuatanmu kembali
You talk to me of the life you spent
Kau bercerita padaku tentang hidup yang kau jalani
And of the life you've earned
Dan tentang hidup yang kau peroleh

You'll waste no time on vengeance
Kau tidak akan membuang waktu untuk balas dendam
You've no wish to fight again
Kau tidak ingin bertarung lagi
"To find peace," you say, "In God we trust
"Untuk menemukan kedamaian," kau berkata, "Kepada Tuhan kita percaya
"But little faith in Man"
"Tapi sedikit percaya pada Manusia"

Heaven ain't ready for you yet, Jesse
Surga belum siap untukmu, Jesse
I'll give you my heart, I'll take a bet, Jesse
Aku akan memberikan hatiku, aku akan bertaruh, Jesse
Now I've seen your face, now that we've met
Sekarang aku sudah melihat wajahmu, sekarang kita sudah bertemu
I shall not slip away
Aku tidak akan menghilang
