La Cárcel

The prison is a cemetery of living men,
Where bad people fall, often good people.
A big house with no windows,
With only one door and behind bars, those who escape.

The prison is my new home, it has been decided
I know what the road is like, without a bed the cold floor
But who looked into my wounded chest
If one day I leave, you will all say, I was a bandit
But who looked into my wounded chest
And asked if I ever committed a crime.

The prison is a cemetery of living men,
Where the one who sins and prays evens out,
For a cigarette someone kills you
If you don't pay the bribe, they betray you,
If they can't get you, they take out one of yours on the street.

The prison is my new home, it has been decided
I know what it's like to be a rider, also to be a good friend
But who looked into my wounded chest
And told my mother that a judge has mistaken her son
But who looked into my wounded chest
And some friend shared this sentence with me.

The prison is a cemetery of living men

(Freedom, freedom
It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)

(It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)
It's like a bird without its two wings,
As if they ripped out your heart from your insides
(It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)
And the Nazarene told me, move forward, move forward,
You know you haven't taken anything
(It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)
Afflicted, confused, in pain, I ask God
Not to let me leave here like a wounded lion
(It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)
Mother, a prayer
To the son you say you've always loved,
Give him your blessing
(It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)

Move forward!
That's how it is!

(Separated)
From my mother, from my wife
(Distant)
My brothers, my friends
(Separated)
Who in good times and bad
(Distant)
Have always been with me
(Separated)
Oh, my children!
(Distant) (Separated)
Who will take care of them, who will protect them,
Who will guide them
(Distant)
Who like me acts with love and responsibility
(Separated) (Distant)
The youngest in the house, tell me who,
Tell me who, who will take care of her
(Distant) (Separated)
And my dog, who even if I come home drunk
Is the only one who is always happy

Mango biche, with salt!

(Freedom, freedom
It's a treasure you don't know how much it's worth
Until you've lost it)
