Where are you going that you don't come from?Adonde vas que no vienes
With me to push the doorConmigo a empujar la puerta

There is no bell tower that ringsNo hay campanario que suene
Like the river out thereComo el río de allá afuera

Like the one who catches fireComo el que se prende fuego
Prisoners of fear walk aroundAndan los presos del miedo

If the fire goes with themSi el incendio va con ellos
If the fire goes with themSi el incendio va con ellos

I don't know, I don't remember wellNo sé, no recuerdo bien
What the jailer wantedQue quería el carcelero
I think a couplet of mineCreo que una copla mía
To endure the silencePara aguantarse el silencio
To endure the silencePara aguantarse el silencio

There is no one who can buy his luckNo hay quien le compre la suerte
To the owner of the padlocksAl dueño de los candados
There is no one who can buy his luckNo hay quien le compre la suerte

Just to see the flightTan solo por verle el vuelo
How beautiful the world will beQue hermoso va a ser el mundo
Of the jailer's sonDel hijo del carcelero
Of the jailer's sonDel hijo del carcelero

It is true that many remained silentEs cierto muchos callaron
When I was arrestedCuando yo fui detenido

I am a prisoner, they are subjectedYo preso, ellos sometidos
I am a prisoner, they are subjectedYo preso, ellos sometidos
