Paroles et traduction Antonio Aguilar - Cancion de un Preso

Cancion de un Preso

Este será mi canto
Tras de la reja
Triste como un gemido
Como un lamento

Y esta será de mi alma
La última queja
Vaga como un suspiro
Que lleva el viento

Pajarillo jilguero
Tiende tus alas
Toma este ramillete
De lindas flores

Y llévale el recuerdo
Pa' mi adorada
Que has de encontrar llorando
Y suspirando por mis amores

Dile que estoy sufriendo
Que estoy penando
Dile que solo vivo
Porque la quiero

Dile que ya su ausencia
Me está matando
Que venga a verme pronto
Porque me muero

Dile que si no sabe
Que vivo preso
Triste y abandonado
En mi cautiverio

Y dile que venga a darme
Tan solo un beso
Antes que ya me saquen
Que ya me lleven pa'l cementerio
Antes que ya me saquen
Que ya me lleven pa'l cementerio

A Prisoner's Song

This will be my song
Behind bars
Sad as a moan
Like a lament

And this will be from my soul
The last complaint
Vague as a sigh
That the wind carries

Little yellow bird
Spread your wings
Take this bouquet
Of beautiful flowers

And carry the memory
To my love
Who you will find crying
And sighing over my love

Tell her I am suffering
That I am in pain
Tell her that I only live
Because I love her

Tell her that her absence
Is killing me
Tell her to come and see me soon
Because I am dying

Tell her that if she does not know
That I am in prison
Sad and forsaken
In my captivity

And tell her to come and give me
Just one kiss
Before they take me out
And take me to the cemetery
Before they take me out
And take me to the cemetery
