El preso número nueve [English translation]

The prisoner in cell number 9

Is going to receive his Last Rites:

He's praying in his cell

With the prison's chaplain

Because, before dawn

They shall take his life

Since he murdered his wife

And a disloyal friend.

He tells this to the Confessor:

"I killed them, oh yes indeed!

And, if I were to be reborn,

I'd kill them all over again!"

"Father, I'm not repentant

And I'm not afraid of eternity.

I know that up there, in Heaven

Our Supreme Being shall judge us...

I shall follow on their steps,

I'm going to look for them in the Hereafter!"

The prisoner in cell number 9

Was a very decent man:

The night of the duel, he was going

Very happily to his little shack.

But upon seeing his beloved

In his rival's arms,

Rage exploded in his chest

And he couldn't hold himself back.

And as the bugle rang

The firing squad got into position

And, close to the firing line

They heard how the prisoner said:

"Father, I'm not repentant

And I'm not afraid of eternity.

I know that up there, in Heaven

Our Supreme Being shall judge us...

I shall follow on their steps,

I'm going to look for them in the Hereafter!"
