Prisoner Number Nine

Luis Alberto del Parana

El Preso Numero Nueve

El preso numero nueve ya lo van a confesar
Esta rezando en la celda con el cura del penal
Porque antes de amanecer la vida le han de quitar
Porque mató a su mujer y a un amigo desleal

Dice así, al confesar
Lo maté si señor
Y si vuelve a nacer
Yo lo vuelvo a matar

Padre no me arrepiento
Ni me da miedo la eternidad
Yo sé que allá en el cielo
El ser supremo nos juzgará
Voy a seguir sus pasos
Voy a buscarlos al más allá

El preso numero nueve era un hombre muy cabal
Iba en la noche del duelo muy contento a su jacal
Pero al mirar a su amor. En brazos de su rival
Ardio en su pecho el rencor. Y no se pudo aguantar

Al sonar el clarín
Se formo el pelotón
Y rumbo al paredón
Se oye al preso decir

Padre no me arrepiento ni me da miedo la eternidad
Yo sé que allá en el cielo el ser supremo nos juzgará
Voy a seguir sus pasos voy a buscarlos al más allá
Al más allá

Prisoner Number Nine

Prisoner number nine is going to confess
He is praying in the cell with the prison priest
Because before dawn his life will be taken away
Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend

He says so, when confessing
I killed him, yes sir
And if he is born again
I'll kill him again

Father, I have no regrets
I'm not even afraid of eternity
I know that up there in heaven
The supreme being will judge us
I will follow in your footsteps
I'm going to look for them in the afterlife

Prisoner number nine was a very upright man
He went to his hut very happy on the night of the duel
But when he looks at his love. In the arms of his rival
Resentment burned in his chest. And he could not bear it

When the bugle sounds
The platoon was formed
And heading to the wall
The prisoner is heard saying

Father, I have no regrets and I am not afraid of eternity
I know that up there in heaven the supreme being will judge us
I will follow in their footsteps, I will look for them in the afterlife
To the beyond
