Muerto En Vida
Orlando Contreras
Dead Inside
Sad and alone, I wander aimlessly through life
without finding any solace for my pain.
Only my mother
was the only one in the world,
faithful slave to my despair.
She always had a wise advice for me,
always, always kept me from temptation
until one day
the woman for whom I am in captivity crossed my path.
I adored her blindly
and she cheated on me with another.
I was guilty of those deaths
and got sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The judges condemned me
because I killed them both.
They sentenced me to death
because I am dead inside.
And so I wander alone through life
without friends, without my mother, without love
and the captivity
of carrying to the grave
the horrendous mark of a love failure.
I adored her blindly
and she cheated on me with another.
I was guilty of those deaths
and got sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The judges condemned me
because I killed them both.
They sentenced me to death
because I am dead inside.
And so I wander alone through life
without friends, without my mother, without love
and the captivity
of carrying to the grave
the horrendous mark of a love failure
