El fantasma de Canterville [English translation]

I was a good man,

if there's anyone good in this place.

I repaid all my debts

I paid for my chance to love.

But I lay in this hole they threw me in,

and nobody remembers me.

I go right through people,

like the Canterville Ghost.

People have offended me a lot,

and nobody gave me an explanation.

Oh, if I could kill them,

I'd do it without any fear.

But I was always an idiot,

who believed in legality.

Now that I'm out,

I finally know what freedom is.

Now that I can love you, babe,

I'm going to love you for real.

While I have air left in me,

you'll never lack warmth.

And never again will I pay attention to

the faces of others,

their stupid mask that pulls

and pulls one backwards.

I've died many times,

gunned down in the city.

But it's better to be a dead person,

than a number that comes and goes.

And in my grave there's a dog,

and things that do me no harm.

After you're dead, babe,

you'll come visit me.

After you're dead, babe,

you'll come visit me.
