Regreso Del Penal

Return from the Penitentiary

Regreso Del Penal

He opened the cellAbrio la celda
His sight aheadSu vista adelante
He saw his freedomVio su libertad
What he longed for, what he dreamed the most was to be at homeLo que anhelaba lo que mas soñaba era estar en su hogar
He left the guitarDejo la viola
Inside his cellDentro de su celda
He didn't want to play anymoreYa no queria tocar
He just wanted to get homeSolo queria llegar a su casa
He couldn't take it anymoreNo aguantaba mas

He got on a busSe subio a un bondi
That stopped at the corner near the penitentiaryQue paro en la esquina cerca del penal
And showing the ticket, the driverY careteando el boleto el chofer
Told him to come inLe dijo pasa

And he sat downY se sento
And it seemed to himY le parecio
That he was flyingQue volaba
And when he arrivedY cuando llego
What he never thoughtQue nunca penso
He didn't imagineNo lo imaginaba
That he would findQue se iba a encontrar
His friend and his loveCon su amigo y su amor
In his bedDentro de su cama

And this is... shovel! wide shovel!Y esto es .... pala! pala! pala ancha!

He killed his wifeMato a su esposa
His soulmate friendA su amigo del alma
And he started to cryY se puso a llorar
And walkingY caminando
All bloodiedTodo ensangrentado
He returned to the penitentiaryRegres al penal
The cell openedSe abrio la celda
And he entered with his head downY entro cabizbajo
He didn't want to talkEl no quiso hablar
About what happened,De lo ocurrido,
About what occurred, with the inmatesDe lo sucedido, con los del penal
He lit a joint, took his guitarSe prendio un faso, tomo su guitarra
And started to singY se puso a cantar
"I loved her with all my life, now she's not here""yo la queria con toda mi vida, ahora ya no esta"

And he sat downY se sento
And it seemed to himY le parecio
That he was flyingQue volaba
And when he arrivedY cuando llego
What he never thoughtQue nunca penso
He didn't imagineNo lo imaginaba

And he killed themY los mato
He didn't ask themNo les pregunto
Why they deceived himPor que lo engañaban
And he surrenderedY se entrego
He was left very aloneMuy solo quedo
He had nothing leftYa no tenia nada

And he sat downY se sento
And it seemed to himY le parecio
That he was flyingQue volaba
And when he arrivedY cuando llego
What he never thoughtQue nunca penso
He didn't imagineNo lo imaginaba
That being in prisonQue estar en prision
Cooled the passionEnfrio la pasion
Of the one he lovedDe la que amaba

And he sat downY se sento
And it seemed to himY le parecio
That he was flyingQue volaba
And when he arrivedY cuando llego
What he never thoughtQue nunca penso
He didn't imagineNo lo imaginaba
And he killed themY los mato
He didn't ask themNo les pregunt
Why they deceived himPor que lo engañaban
And he surrenderedY se entrego
He was left very aloneMuy solo quedo
He had nothing leftYa no tenia nada
