A Trabajos Forzados

To forced labor condemns me
my heart, to which I gave you the key.
I do not want torment to end,
and I demand my chain of steel.

My soul does not conceive greater pain
than freedom without a kiss to bind it,
nor does it conceive a less serious punishment
than a cell of love filled with you.

I do not believe in a hell greater than your absence.
Paradise without you, I reject it.

Let no judge declare my innocence,
because, in this long-term process,
I will only seek the sentence
to a life sentence of your embrace.

I do not believe in a hell greater than your absence.
Paradise without you, I reject it.
Let no judge declare my innocence,
