He Was My Brother

Era mi hermanoHe was my brother
Cinco años mayor que yoFive years older than I
Era mi hermanoHe was my brother
Veintitrés años el día en que murióTwenty-three years old the day he died

Jinete de libertadFreedom rider
Le maldijeron a mi hermano en la caraThey cursed my brother to his face
Vete a casa forasteroGo home outsider
Este pueblo va a ser tu lugar de enterramientoThis town's gonna be your buryin' place

Cantaba de rodillasHe was singin' on his knees
Una muchedumbre furiosa siguió a lo largoAn angry mob trailed along
Mataron a mi hermanoThey shot my brother dead
Porque odiaba lo que estaba malBecause he hated what was wrong

Era mi hermanoHe was my brother
Las lágrimas no pueden traerlo de vuelta a míTears can't bring him back to me
Era mi hermanoHe was my brother
Y murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libresAnd he died so his brothers could be free
Murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libresHe died so his brothers could be free
