Angel of Goliad, Angel de vida

mother of mercy, you saved many soldiers’ lives

por los dos lados curaste los heridos

Angel de Goliad, Angel of life

Angel de Goliad, Angel of life

en medio de todo el dolor y sufrimiento

you were there to comfort through the roughest of times

caring for the wounded on both sides

Angel of Goliad, esposa de Alavez

entre la oscuridad, fuiste la luz

a healing angel on a mission from heaven

Angel of Goliad, Angel de vida

Angel de Goliad, con tu luz divina

you cried as the prisioners marched down the road

salvaste los jovenes de la masacre

Angel de Goliad, Angel of life

Angel of Goliad, esposa de Alavez

entre la oscuridad, fuiste la luz

a healing angel on a mission from heaven

Angel of Goliad, Angel of life

Angel de Goliad, Angel de luz
