El preso número nueve [English translation]

Prisoner number nine is being confessed

And is praying in his cell with the prison chaplain.

For they will take his life before dawn

Because he killed his wife and a treacherous friend

He speaks thus to his confessor, "I killed them, yes sir,

And if I am born again, I will kill them again."

"Father, I don't repent, and neither does eternity frighten me

I know that there in heaven

The Supreme Lord will judge us

I will follow their steps

I will search for them in the afterlife."

Prisoner number nine was every inch a man

On the night of the killing he returned very content to his shack

But when he saw his love in the embrace of his rival

Hatred burned in his breast and he couldn't control himself.

At the sound of the bugle, the firing squad lined up

And on the way to the wall the prisoner was heard saying:

"Father, I don't repent, and neither does eternity frighten me

I know that there in heaven

The Supreme Lord will judge us

I will follow their steps

I will search for them in the afterlife."

Ay. yayayayayyyyy
