Maldita Soledad

Damn Solitude

Maldita Soledad

The night surprises meLa noche me sorprende
And I want to escapeY yo quiero escaparme
I don't want you to envelop meNo quiero que me envuelvas
Damn solitudeMaldita soledad
How sad my world isQue triste que es mi mundo
Just four cornersTan solo cuatro esquinas
And my cell is so coldY es tan fria mi celda
So far from homeTan lejos de mi hogar
Where are my friendsDonde estan mis amigos
From those long nightsDe aquellas largas noches
Smoke buddiesCompañeros del humo
And many other thingsY de muchas cosas mas
Invented friendsAmigos inventados
In nights of joyEn noches de alegrias
They already forgot about meDe mi ya se olvidaron
How sad it makes meQue triste me da
Night of sadness and lonelinessNoche de tristeza y de soledad
How sad the prisoner's life isQue triste que es la vida del prisionero
Counting the slow daysContando los dias que corren lento
Anxiously waiting for his freedomEsperando ancioso su libertad
I wish on this nightQuisiera en esta noche
To create a new songCrear un canto nuevo
And in the flight of dovesY en vuelo de palomas
That it reaches my homeQue llegue hasta mi hogar
And share the tableY compartir la mesa
With my dear motherCon mi madre querida
But it's impossiblePero es un imposible
And I start to cryY me pongo a llorar
Night of sadness and lonelinessNoche de tristeza y de soledad
How sad the prisoner's life isQue triste que es la vida del prisionero
Counting the slow daysContando los dias que corren lento
Anxiously waiting for his freedomEsperando ancioso su libertad
