Canción de Un Preso

This will be my song behind the bars
Sad like a moan, like a lament
And this will be my soul's final complaint
Vague like a sigh carried by the wind

Little bird, goldfinch, between your wings
Take this bouquet of beautiful flowers
And bring memories to my beloved
Who will find crying
And sighing for my loves

Tell her I'm suffering, I'm in pain
Tell her I only live because I love her
Tell her her absence is killing me
Tell her to come see me soon because I'm dying

Tell her if she doesn't know I'm living as a prisoner
Sad and abandoned in my captivity
Tell her to come give me just one kiss
Before they take me away
Before they take me to the cemetery
Before they take me away
Take me to the cemetery
