I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to take my Mother away
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Hey, Undertaker, hey, Undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body you are holding
Lord, I hate, I hate to see her go
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
I went back home
My home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All my brothers, sister crying
In our home so sad and alone
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Well, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Oh, will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Prevod pesme
Da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Stajao sam kraj prozora
Jednog hladnog oblačnog dana
Kada sam ugledao mrtvačka kola kako dolaze tandrčući
Da bi moju majku odveli
Oh, da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Jednog dana, Bože, jednog dana
Neki bolji dom me čeka
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
Hej, grobaru, hej, grobaru
Grobaru, molim te vozi polako
Zbog tog tela koje nosiš
Bože, ne volim, ne volim što ona odlazi
Oh, da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Jednog dana, Bože, jednog dana
Neki bolji dom me čeka
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
Vratio sam se kući
Moja kuća bila je pusta
Nedostajala mi je majka, nje više nije bilo
Sva moja braća, sestra plaču
U našem domu, tako tužni i usamljeni
Oh, da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Jednog dana, Bože, jednog dana
Neki bolji dom me čeka
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
Pa, ja sam je pratio u stopu
Trudeći se da se držim i da budem hrabar
Ali svoju tugu nisam mogao skriti
Kada su je u grob položili
Oh, da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Jednog dana, Bože, jednog dana
Neki bolji dom me čeka
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
Oh, da li će se krug ponovo zatvoriti
Jednog dana, Bože, jednog dana
Neki bolji dom me čeka
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
Na nebu, Bože, na nebu
