The phrase refers to the fact that Jesus is not yet crucified, but is about to, but even after his death she will always tell people that she is faithful to Jesus. Even though Jesus is never mentioned during the first half of the song, it was strongly implied that it was him, as Pontius Pilate is mentioned. “When Pontius comes to kill the king on his throne,” since it was he who tried and crucified Jesus. Mary also refers to Jesus as a king in this sense, further demonstrating her great respect for him. The use of the adverb “when” tells us that Jesus is not yet dead and Mary tells us her thoughts before her death. The word crucify is often used which strongly implies the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Maria is deeply saddened, but tries her best to stay strong: "I will not cry for you, I will not crucify the things you do", showing that Maria is trying to stay strong without shedding tears over his death. He will also have nothing against him for his crucifixion or anything from the past. Although she may not be trying to stay strong for herself, but rather Jesus who told her to stay strong: "I'll dance, I'll dance, I'll dance, with my hands, hands, hands, on top of my head, head, head, like Jesus , she said,” Jesus told her to continue to be strong and to remember the good times they had experienced
