On the morning of the 10th of May
the alarm was heard in the prison,
they are the sirens announcing
that a prisoner was about to escape.
The guards were ready with carbines;
they searched and searched restlessly,
they can't find the inmate,
who knows how he could have escaped.
Curious people have started to riot
in front of a sad and somber house,
because inside they are watching
an inmate crying.
Crying with immense sorrow,
a sad and fatal sorrow,
when they come to apprehend him,
he could only tell them:
"Leave me, leave me
leave me for a moment more,
it's been five years
since the last time I saw my mother,
my little old lady is ill,
only God knows if she will live".
His captors also cried
then they knelt to pray,
because the prisoner put his lips
over his mother's forehead.
Her cold body was stiff,
for she had died suddenly,
now the guards have completed their duty
and they take him towards the prison.
"Leave me, leave me
leave me for a moment more,
it's been five years
since the last time I saw my mother,
my little old lady, my little old lady,
may God keep you safe in eternity".
