El Preso Numero Nueve

Prisoner number nine is going to confess
He is praying in the cell with the prison priest
Because before dawn his life will be taken away
Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend

He says so, when confessing
I killed him, yes sir
And if he is born again
I'll kill him again

Father, I have no regrets
I'm not even afraid of eternity
I know that up there in heaven
The supreme being will judge us
I will follow in your footsteps
I'm going to look for them in the afterlife

Prisoner number nine was a very upright man
He went to his hut very happy on the night of the duel
But when he looks at his love. In the arms of his rival
Resentment burned in his chest. And he could not bear it

When the bugle sounds
The platoon was formed
And heading to the wall
The prisoner is heard saying

Father, I have no regrets and I am not afraid of eternity
I know that up there in heaven the supreme being will judge us
I will follow in their footsteps, I will look for them in the afterlife
To the beyond
