El Preso Numero Nueve
Luis Alberto del Parana
Prisoner Number Nine
Prisoner number nine is about to confess
He's praying in the cell with the prison priest
Because before dawn they will take his life
Because he killed his wife and a disloyal friend
He confesses like this
I killed them, yes sir
And if I were to be born again
I would kill them again
Father, I do not repent
Nor am I afraid of eternity
I know that up in heaven
The Supreme Being will judge us
I will follow his steps
I will seek them beyond
Prisoner number nine was a very upright man
He went on the night of the duel very happy to his hut
But upon seeing his love in the arms of his rival
He felt the resentment in his chest and couldn't hold back
At the sound of the bugle
The battalion formed
And next to the wall
The prisoner is heard saying
Father, I do not repent nor am I afraid of eternity
I know that up in heaven the Supreme Being will judge us
I will follow his steps I will seek them beyond
Lalalara la Ay Ay
