Prisión Esperanza
Manuel Carrasco
Hope Prison
The inmate 19 no longer leaves his cell
Imaginary bars, freedom doesn't dare
When he thought himself invincible on a March afternoon
The court-appointed lawyer presented all the charges
The pride and greed, the ambition of the human being
Licensed for everything, from good to bad
What importance does what's lost and what's gained have now?
The cards are face up and the world is upside down
You and I, you and I, you and I
Us and the world
You and I, you and I, you and I
Us and the world
In Hope Prison, there are no pleadings
And from one cell to another, songs are flying
Prisoners and guards meet at 8
And the applause that arises reaches the infirmary
In Hope Prison, no visitors are allowed
Only the singing of birds, the sea coming back to life
Everyone serves their sentence in the most beautiful way
They don't want freedom unless it heals the wound
You and I, you and I, you and I
Us and the world
You and I, you and I, you and I
Us and the world
And this desire to love each other while waiting for the release
And we'll have so many farewells pending
Us and the world
Love
We are water in the middle of the desert
We are trees, we are the wind
We are loneliness, we are breath and heart
We are all looking for the remedy
We are them healing the pain
We are the song, your breath
The hope that springs from the depths of your heart
And love
And love
And love
And love
It will stop, it will stop, pararararará...
