El Prisionero

The Prisoner

El Prisionero

What bad luck, gentlemenQué mala suerte, señores
Walking abroadAndando en el extranjero
I wanted and crossed the borderQuise y crucé la frontera
My ambition was moneyMi ambición era el dinero
But I never imaginedPero nunca imagine
That one day I would be a prisonerQue un día fuera prisionero

When I made the mistakeCuando el error cometí
I was in a bar drinkingYo estaba en un bar tomando
Drinking with my friendsTomando con mis amigos
Singing with my guitarCon mi guitarra cantando
The jarocho arrives and tells meLlega el jarocho y me dice
I want you to lend me your carQuiero me prestes tu carro

I didn't want to lend the carNo quería prestar el carro
But at the moment I was encouragedPero al momento me anima
I told them I was their friendLes dije yo soy su amigo
Get in alreadySúbanse ya para arriba
But I never imaginedPero nunca imagine
That they were selling cocaineQue ellos vendían cocaína

They were about to deliver the drugsYa iban a entregar la droga
To a black man they were selling toA un negro que le vendían
When suddenly I sawCuando mire de repente
Police officersAgentes de policía
We all surrenderedTodos quedamos rendidos
None of us movedYa ninguno se movía

With pistols and r-15De pistolas y r-15
This body covered the targetEste cuerpo cubrió el blanco
They put handcuffs on meMe pusieron las esposas
And they were mistreating meY me estaban maltratando
I better not talk about the snitchDe la chiva mejor no hablo
He was already snitchingEl ya se estaba rajando

For giving someone a ride they accuse mePor dar un raite me acusan
The law as a traffickerLa ley como traficante
When it's not even his caseCuando no le toca el caso
Then why snitchDespués para que rajarse
The law says thatLa ley lo que dice eso es
It becomes very finalSe pone bien terminante

That's because one doesn't thinkEso es porque uno no piensa
To do things rightHacer las cosas primero
Without a crime they caused meSin delito me causaron
In Houston I was a prisonerEn Houston fui prisionero
Ten thousand dollars bailDiez mil dólares de fianza
And finally I made it to GuerreroY al fin llegué hasta Guerrero
