El Penal de La Loma

The Prison of La Loma

El Penal de La Loma

Twenty-five years in prison, not everyone forgets themVeinticinco años de cárcel no los olvida cualquiera
I had to endure them because of my damn povertyYo tuve que soportarlos por mi maldita pobreza
But I thank heaven, my sentence is overPero doy gracias al cielo, ya termino mi sentencia

In the prison of La Loma, they prosecuted me for loveEn el penal de la loma por amor me procesaron
For loving with all my soul the daughter of a rich landownerPor amar con toda el alma la hija de un rico hacendado
For being a simple commoner, he took her away from mePor ser un simple plebeyo se la llevo de mi lado

They gave me life in prison between him and a corrupt officialCarcel por vida me dieron entre él y un mal funcionario
One day they notified me, a lawyer is looking for youUn dia me notificaron ay te busca un licenciado
Collect your belongings, your sentence has endedRecoge tus pertenencias tu sentencia ha terminado

The lawyer told me, your mother is waiting for youEl licenciado me dijo mi madre te esta esperando
I am the son of both, of that sacred loveYo soy de los dos el hijo de aquel amor tan sagrado
The rich man who took her away from your side has already diedYa se murió el hombre rico que la aparto de tu lado

I'm leaving, I say goodbye, goodbye to the prisoners of La LomaYa me voy ya me despido adiós presos de la loma
Today I have a wife and a son, what more could I ask for in lifeHoy tengo esposa y un hijo que mas le pido a la vida
