Mr. Judge
Quiet in my house like the angel waiting,
I entered without paying attention to what she was saying,
I tell myself that only she loved me,
that beside me her reason had a tomorrow.
I gave her my heart, my being and more,
and we united by the most sacred bond.
everything was fine and nothing about her was strange
we were happy until the day of her deceit.
I almost killed her, Mr. Judge
I don't regret it, it's the truth,
I know you will understand
about the life of swearing.
How can one forgive
someone who betrays in such an unnatural way
I found her with another woman in her arms
you can't imagine what a bitter pill that was
if it had been with another man it wouldn't matter
I didn't understand that irony of life
I shot her without caring if she died.
And tell me, Mr. Judge
what would you do in my place
seeing your life
fade away like this.
That's why, Mr. Judge,
if I am released,
I swear this time I will kill her,
I swear this time I will kill her...

Your Honor, I come to confess
all, all the truth
because not even alcohol has made me forget,
and my bitter truth tortures me.
Your Honor, you have to understand me,
I didn't, I didn't know what to do
they laughed at me, maybe without thinking
the value they had for me.
My older brother who came to dinner,
my children were not there, I couldn't imagine
they made me drink, dizzy to sleep
when I woke up in a room I saw them.
Not a second I hesitated
and from the drawer I took my gun.
not a second I hesitated
and I killed them without saying anything, nothing.
They laughed at me
with their betrayal that I didn't expect
they laughed at me
I don't regret anything, nothing.
Suddenly, my children arrived
and asked me, where is mom?
I told them: mom has left
forgive me, it doesn't matter, she won't come back...
