Текст и перевод песни Los Pasteles Verdes - El Presidiario

El Presidiario

Alla en el muelle, por la caleta
Un presidiario, triste yo vi
La madrecita, lo consolaba
Y lo besaba con frenesí

Era un muchacho noble y honrado
Y una mujer lo fatalizo
Y a muchos vicios que eran prohibidos
Aquel muchacho se dedico

Y en una noche, cuando en un baile
Enloquecido por el licor
A su fiel amigo que él más quería
Sin un motivo lo asesino

Lo condenaron a 20 años
Triste miraba hacia la mar
Pensando siempre en esa isla
Donde las penas iba a pagar

Llego el barco, se oye el silbato
La pobre madre rompió a llorar
"Ay no se lleven a ese hijo mío
Que trabajando yo lo crie"

Aquel muchacho dijo unas frases
"Madre no llores, no llores más
Yo soy culpable y lo reconozco
Más la condena debo pagar"

Y una noche cuando en su celda
Un pajarito vio llegar
Era la madre en forma de ave
Que a su hijo iba a visitar

Que a su hijo
Iba a visitar

The Prisoner

At the pier, by the cove
A sad prisoner I saw
His mother comforted him
And kissed him with frenzy

He was a noble and honorable boy
And a woman was deadly to him
And to many vices that were forbidden
The boy dedicated himself

And one night, while at a dance
Mad with drink
His loyal friend whom he loved most
Without a motive he killed

He was sentenced to 20 years
Sadly he looked out to sea
Always thinking of that island
Where he would pay for his sins

The ship arrived and sounded the whistle
The poor mother broke down in tears
"Oh don't take my son
With hard work, I raised him"

The boy said a few words
"Mother don't cry, don't cry anymore
I am guilty, I recognize it
But I must pay the sentence"

And one night, while in his cell
He saw a bird arrive
It was his mother in the form of a bird
Who came to visit her son

Who came
To visit her son
