El Preso Numero Nueve - Live

El preso número nueve ya lo van a confesar
Esta rezando en la celda con el cura del penal
Porque antes del amanecer la vida le han de quitar
Porque mató a su mujer y a un amigo desleal
Dice así al confesar
Los maté si señor
Y si vuelvo a nacer
Yo los vuelvo a matar
Padre no me arrepiento
Ni me da miedo la eternidad
Yo sé que allá en el cielo
El ser supremo nos juzgará
Voy a seguir sus pasos
Voy a buscarla hasta el más allá
Ay, yayayay...
El preso numero nueve era un hombre muy cabal
Iba en la noche del duelo muy contento en su jacal
Pero al mirar a su amor en brazos de su rival
Ardió en pecho el rencor y no se pudo aguantar
Al sonar el clarín se formo el pelotón
Y rumbo al paredón solo alcanzo a decir:
Padre no me arrepiento ni me da miedo la eternidad
Yo se que allá en el cielo el que juzga nos juzgará
Voy a seguir sus pasos voy a buscarla hasta el más allá
Ay, yayayayy, yaay

The Prisoner Number Nine - Live

Prisoner number nine, they're going to confess him now
He's praying in his cell with the prison priest
Because before dawn, they're going to take his life
Because he killed his wife and an unfaithful friend
He says as he confesses
I killed them, yes, sir
And if I were born again
I'd kill them again
Father, I don't regret it
Nor do I fear eternity
I know that up in heaven
The supreme being will judge us
I will follow in her footsteps
I'll search for her in the afterlife
Oh, yayayay...
Prisoner number nine was a very honorable man
He went into the duelo that night very happy in his jacal
But when he saw his love in the arms of his rival
His chest burned with anger and he couldn't hold back
When the bugle sounded, the firing squad formed
And on his way to the wall, he only had time to say:
Father, I don't regret it, nor do I fear eternity
I know that up in heaven, the one who judges will judge us
I will follow in her footsteps, I'll search for her in the afterlife
Oh, yayayayy, yaay
