The Three Orphans (An orphan is buried outside in the cemetery)

Song

He cries like an orphan, outside in the cemetery, ; On his knees, he sobs bitterly. ; His mother has already died, ; There is no one to take care of him. ; ; He prays, just at midnight, ; The Virgin Mary came down to him. ; She gave him a heavenly flower, ; She said: My son, do not weep for your mother. ; ; He prays and falls down again, ; His thick tears fall on his mother's grave. ; - Get up, get up, my dear mother, ; There is no one to take care of me. ; ; He prays just at midnight, ; The Virgin Mary said to him: ; - Do not weep, my son, I will be your mother, ; The Virgin Mary will take care of you.
